ExpiredCameron Road Loop Trail

This has been an often “sold out” Hike Haliburton hike for a decade. It follows the 1867 Cameron Road, an early colonization route into Haliburton County. Proceeding through an old sugar bush, it provides several unique overviews of Gull Lake. It concludes at the historic Miners’ Bay Church, with a brief history of the century and a half old Miners’ Bay community. There is one very steep down hill section.
