Plantation Trail

Plantation Trail - Master Head Image 1

Overview

This interpretive trail explores human impact on the land over the last 150 years. The trail passes through logging sites, old farm fields and reforestation plantations.

The highlight of this trail is a quiet moment overlooking a pond filled with wildlife. Located in the picturesque Kawarthas, Balsam Lake is an all-season recreational park along the Trent-Severn Waterway.

In summer, swim at a clean, safe beach, hike to a lookout tower, fish for bass, sail and windsurf.

Ontario Trails do not own or manage any trails. Check with the identified manager before using this trail. Do not trespass, allowed uses only.
