The Cliff Top Scenic Lookout — Local services in Unorganized South Nipissing

Well, I was just here and I have made this hike many times since I was a child of 8. Done it in the fall/winter. So this time I went solo. Busy in the fall and parked at the Pine something trail parking lot. The start of the Lookout trail is in the adjacent parking lot. Trail this way 450m. If you were thinking you'er all that and a bag of chips on hiking, the 450 m of trail to the start of the REAL trail will take the wind out of your sails... I thought to myself I don't remember it being this challenging??? I have never been so happy to see a flat parking lot...

So the trail between the parking lots is BRUTAL! The rest of the trail is great. They state it is intermediate, but I would say it is on the higher side of Intermediate. It is uphill for most of the trip in, good path, but still pretty steep. But worth it! Have to say there were pretty senior, seniors who were giving it up and down, so good on them!

All in all, a good hike. If you are questioning your abilities, don't park at the Pine trail...

Breath taking scene on to of the hike. The hike it self is pretty easy but steep incline. The kids love stopping at every bolder to take pics for their conquest of the bolder summit 😁

The trail is a loop so you go using any of the paths and you reach the top of the look out. Please be care full of kids at the top of the lookout the edges are not fenced and they are better that way to enjoy the scenery

We stopped every 5/10min, and although the whole trail is pretty short you do this in under an hour. The hike up to the look out is...

The hike was a challenge but fun and rewarding at the same time. I was with a group but told them to go ahead. I wanted to savour the beauty of this place. I hike and stop every now and then to take pictures, look in some shadowy places (hoping to see some animals living in the area), and of course, to rest. The trail isn’t that bad. I encountered some families with kids, couples with dogs, and some tour group with their leaders. When I got to the top, the view was awesome. Autumn colours...
