If your Feeling energetic while camping at Arrowhead take a hike on all or just one of thier hiking trails or if you brought your mountain bike there are two bike trails to enjoy some scenary or for excercise. The five hiking trails are: The Beaver Meadow Trail, Stubbs Falls Trail, Big Bend Lookout Trail, Homesteaders Trail and Mayflower Trail. The two bike trails are; The Arrowhead Lake Trail and Lookout Trail. Also are many smaller trails leading between campsites or down to the beaches plus ski trails in the winter.
The longest trail is the Beaver Meadow Trail which is over seven KLM long that circles a large beaver pond. Here you can view beavers hard at work or see a moose wading in the pond amongst the sound of the birds nearby. As you meander through the trail you will see evidence of of a past life with old foundations of once was a homesteaders building and fencelines that once stood the time of history. The forest and bush is slowly reclaiming this land to be part of nature once again. The shortest trail is Big Bend Lookout that is a short walk from the road in Roe Campground. Here you will see how erosion has ate away the sides of this sandy cliff while the Big East River meanders down below. Stubbs falls trail is about two Klm long that follows the Little east River down to the ancient Stubbs Falls. The rocks down here are over a billion years old according to Park Naturalist Doug McCall, pushed here from glacier activities thousands of years ago. Both bike trails offer rugged hills and will make your legs work thier muscles. Take your time on all trails as safety comes first. Just remeber to be back before nightfall or the wardens might have to come and guide you out. When its dark its dark and being stuck on a trail at nightfall can be a little nerving. Always be prepared just in case. For more info on the trails visit the Arrowhead website at Ontario Parks.

Hi!
You have posted wonderful photographs of the campsites. This makes it a pleasure to surf as well as choosing the ultimate site. We are 5 families travelling together this July and it really helped to view the campsites so that we could be close to one another. You’ve done a phenomenal job and thanks so much! Do you have the same for Awenda Provincial Park?
