Deer Lake Mountain Trail

Trail Info

Trail Length: 6.6 km loop, with two short lookout trail spurs
Trail Type: Loop
Difficulty: Difficult - short black diamond sections-steep climbs, unstable footing
Elevation Gain: 145 m
Features: Thirteen cliff-top lookouts with panoramic views of Nipigon Bay, Nipigon River, Deer Lake, No Good Lake, Lofquist Lake and Black Bay. Old growth cedar forest, beaver dam.

This is a wilderness recreation trail. The wooded trail gradually climbs to the top of a cuesta and circles the perimeter with incredible views in all directions before returning to the trailhead. Trail spurs to cliffs overlooking No Good Lake and Lofquist Lake are optional. A beaver dam must be crossed on the No Good Lake spur trail.
