The Earth Star Loop, a 4 km loop trail, is named after the earth star mushroom, which can be found in late summer or fall in this vicinity. The loop start about 400 metres south of Flood Road, where it leaves the main trail and goes east. The trail follows a cart track meandering through cedar woods and a red pine plantation. After crossing an open meadow, it enters mature woods. In the wooded area, the trail reaches an intersection at 1.4 km.

On the crossover trail to the left there is an open-sided log shelter built for the Rideau Trail...
