In this video we take you along on two more trails along Highway 60, Beaver Pond Trail and Spruce Bog Boardwalk (or Trail). Both of these trails are very popular due to their length and ease but if you hit them on the right day, at the right time or during the worst weather, you might get to hike the trail with very few others.

Spruce Bog Boardwalk is a trail we will go on several times during our trips to Algonquin Provincial Park. It’s only 1.5 kilometers and is usually pretty good in almost any weather, although the boardwalks can get slippery when they are wet. A large portion of the trail goes through a forested area which makes it decent even on hot days (just don’t stand too long on the open areas). There are quite a few wildflowers and mushrooms to see along this trail, as well as wildlife, including birds.

The Beaver Pond Trail is 2.1 kilometres long and is more difficult than the boardwalk. There are some steep climbs and staircases but it is takes you through a variety of ecosystems. You’ll see beaver meadows and beaver ponds that may or may not be active. Part way along the trail you’ll get up close to a fairly impressive beaver dam that actually created Amikeus Lake. That’s right, the lake would not have existed without beavers!
