The 8 km Lynx Loop Trail is located within a trails network for hiking, biking and skiing. With over 30km of winter trails, Georgian Nordic offers performance (combined classic and skate), backcountry skiing, and snowshoe trails. In non-snow season, a range of mountain bike trails is available including single track biking trails.
Habitat varies greatly along the trail, from rock barrens to forests and wetlands. Depending upon the season, you may hear the classic “sweet Canada, Canada, Canada” call of the white-throated sparrow and spot turtles basking near the wetlands or discover tracks in the snow of the Algonquin wolf or river otter.
