Itinerary:

This loop is located in the most rugged part of the Park. The trail crosses Labelle Gorge and passes a series of waterfalls which drop 16 metres from Slide Lake to Buck Lake. This loop features an excellent view of Mink and Camel Lakes and the ridge and trough landscape of this area of the Park. This is my favourite part in the entire park. It's rugged, challenging an quite beautiful!

We will drive up to Frontenac Provincial Park early Saturday morning and hike approx 13km in to our campsite at cluster 4 on North Buck Lake.

Sunday we'll complete the Slide Lake Loop, hiking 15km to cluster 2 on Doe Lake for a relaxing evening.

Monday morning we'll hike 5km back to our cars and return to Toronto

DRIVERS: WHEN YOU SIGN UP INDICATE HOW MANY PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE

Participants should all have backcountry camping and backpacking experience. This is not a beginner event. The terrain is rugged and the days will be full of hiking.

Participants will be required to supply their own equipment i.e. backpacks and be comfortable carrying a fuill pack across rugged, tough and hilly terrain.

This event is capped at 6 people. I will move people from the waitlist to the event list based on their level of experience in the order they signed up.
