Lookout Trail
The most popular short trail beside Highway 60. A climb to the rocky lookout reveals hundreds of square kilometers of forests and lakes.
Located about 39.7 km along Highway 60, the loop trail is about 1.9 km long. It is steep and takes about an hour to complete. The open granite face at the top overlooks an endless expanse of forest and lakes. In autumn, the red leaves are spectacular, making it the most iconic fall foliage viewpoint in Algonquin. On autumn weekends, the parking lot fills by early morning, so arrive soon after sunrise or visit on a weekday. You need to buy an Ontario Provincial Parks day-use vehicle permit. During peak season, book in advance on the official website.
