Big Pines Trail
A loop trail through centuries-old giant white pines, offering a glimpse of Algonquin's forest before logging.
Located about 40.3 km along Highway 60, this loop is about 2.9 km and takes about 1.5 hours. The trail passes through a rare stand of old white pines, some over 200 years old, tall and straight, which lets you imagine the Algonquin forest before the logging era. Interpretive signs along the way tell the story of white pine harvesting, and you can also see remains of 19th-century logging camps. The path is gentle and suitable for families.
