Charleston Lake Provincial Park
There are 7 marked hiking trails throughout the park, ranging from easy to difficult, and up to 10km long. Depending on the trail, you’ll pass through wetlands and forests, or across boardwalks. The trails have excellent lookout points, either over the lake or as far south as the Adirondack Mountains. One favorite trail, the Sandstone Island Trail, is a 2.6km loop that is slightly difficult with a few steep climbs. It features a sandstone rock overhang, incredible views of the lake and the chance to see a rock shelter used 1200 years ago. If you are looking for something a little easier, the 2.4 km Quiddity Trail is an easy loop that takes you over boardwalks to a scenic lookout point.
The park entrance is a 5 minute drive or a 30 minute walk down the road.
