In light of the global pandemic, we are cautiously proceeding, allowing a small number of participants at each event. We will need your cooperation in only signing up for events you can truly commit to attending. If you miss out on registering please get yourself registered on the waitlist. We also ask for everyone's cooperation and patience as we all adjust! Please see our policy and safety practices here.

DEADLINE TO REGISTER: BY MIDNIGHT, TWO DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT (JULY 10) 

A lot of the more popular trails in the Whiteshell area are getting busy, so this is an opportunity to check out a lesser-known trail in the Whiteshell called the Lost Lake Trail! (It's part of the The Great Trail.)

This trail is located near West Hawk Lake. It is an approximately 7km route, which we will do out and back for a total of approximately 14km. Doing this as an out and back allows us to avoid a road walk. We will hike along the Great Trail (purple, #7 on the map below) until it meets up with the Lost Lake Trail (#8 on the map) and follow the trail until it meets up with Hwy 312, at which point we will turn around the retrace our route back to our vehicles.  This hike includes a potential opportunity to take a swim in West Hawk Lake.

We will hike this trail rain or shine, unless deemed unsafe. 

Event leaders: Kerry St George 

Arrival Time: by 9:30 AM. We will begin the hike no later than 10:00 AM. The time arranged allows for you to have time to attend to personal needs such as organizing your gear and for the leaders to share information with the group.

LocationWe will meet at the the corner of Hwy 44 and 312.  We will park our cars along the side of the road on 312.
