Trip Details

This hike begins just west of the parking lot by crossing the bridge over the Oxtongue River. Head north along the trail briefly until you reach the fork. Make sure to take the leftward trail west. 

Follow the trail as it weaves up and down through the Algonquin brush. Eventually, you will reach a fork leading towards the Maple Leaf Lake campsites, take it and find a suitable camp.
