Big Pines Trail — Attraction in Unorganized South Nipissing

We embarked on a delightful adventure along the Big Pines Trail, a journey that lasted for an hour and a half. With our trusty golden retriever in tow, it was a leisurely and enjoyable stroll through nature's wonders.

The Big Pines Trail offered simplicity in its path, making it accessible for adventurers of all levels. This accessibility allowed us to immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of the natural surroundings. As we walked along the well-marked trail, we couldn't help but be captivated by the stunning vistas that unfolded before us.

One of the highlights of our trek was the opportunity to witness the vibrant fall foliage. The trail was adorned with the fiery hues of maple leaves, creating a picturesque and enchanting landscape. The golden sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a warm and inviting glow over the entire trail.

Our four-legged companion, our beloved golden retriever, added an extra layer of joy to our journey. Their boundless energy and enthusiasm for exploration mirrored our own sense of adventure, making the experience even more memorable.

This is a fantastic trail... It is one of the least frequently used trails in Algonquin Park. Much more peaceful much less traffic from other hikers. And of course less litter left behind.

The hike itself is not very difficult it is about 3 km. Maybe half a dozen shorts to pills mostly flat and a bit of windy parts... Lots of roots along the trail too so be careful of trip hazards.

They're not many fantastic lookout points but the peacefulness of the trail makes up for that.

Of course once the trail is packed with snow it's a lot easier to hike cuz there are no roots.

Definitely worth visiting this trail during high tourist season. Or anytime for...

It is a beautiful trail. Not a beginner trail, or if you have any disabilities. I have a hard time walking and am asthmatic, lol it was very tough on me, but I did it. We loved looking at the big Pine trees, they are quite magnificent. We of course have seen larger, but so many on one walk was quite beautiful. The trail of course has many stones and big roots, so you must really watch where you are walking. A few small inclines. I am unsure how long it took us, just over an hour or so. But alas I stopped to take quite a few pictures. There is an old camp preserved here but it really isn't much to see, as it is fenced in, as to keep it preserved. So nice to get out and experience the Park like we have...
