Josee and I arrived early enough to beat the “fall rush”. We started with the furthest trail from Parry Sound, the Beaver Pond.
Beaver Pond Trail: The Beaver Pond Trail is located at km 45.2 in Algonquin Park. It is a fairly easy 1.9 kilometer trail. There are several board walks and wooden stair cases that make the trail easier. At the end of the trail there is a fantastic view of the trail.

Spruce Bog Trail: The Spruce Bog Trail is located at km 42.5. It is a very easy 1.5 km hike. It is a wheelchair accessible trail. The trail is mainly all board walks that goes through a spruce bog.

Booth’s Rock Trail: This is a slightly difficult 5.7 km trail located at km 40.3. It is advertised as a 5.1 km trail however, we went to visit the Barclay Estate remains which added a few hundred meters. This is a great hike that climbs up a hill overlooking Rock Lake. (photo at the top) After the lookout, the trail goes down a large wooden staircase. There is a detour to visit the old Barclay Estate which used to be owned by John Rudolphus Booth a lumber tycoon. From the Estate the trail follows where the old train used to run through Algonquin Park.
