Activities

Excellent hiking trails abound in the Kirkland Lake district. While serious hikers are likely to combine hiking with canoeing expeditions and mountain bike treks, there are a host of great day trips for the more casual enthusiast.

Esker Lakes Provincial Park offers a number of short, easy jaunts with such colourful names as The Lonesome Bog Trail and the Trappers Trail. A bit more challenging but still within the capabilities of most weekend enthusiasts is the 45-minute climb up Mount Cheminis. Other opportunities can be found throughout the district on crown land as well as within other provincial parks. One of the best spots is Kap Kig Iwan Provincial Park, located just outside the Town of Englehart. There, trails will take you through incredible country complete with towering deciduous trees, primeval boreal forests and picturesque waterfalls.
