Description of Trails
The Achray Trail Complex is a newly developed series of
three stacked loops in the interior of Algonquin Park. The
three trails are: Berm Lake Trail 4.3 km; Johnston
Lake Trail, 6.5 km; and High Falls Trail, 15 km.
The Archray area of Algonquin Park contains a distinctive
landscape of long lakes, spectacular cliffs, pine forests
and sand beaches on Grand Lake. The Berm Lake, Johnston Lake
and High Falls trails are well-marked and provide plenty of
pleasant walking and scenery. The longest leg, High Falls,
provides a lookout and a natural waterslide with a series of
small chutes that converge into a larger waterfall with a
pool at the bottom. Beginning in 1993, the Berm Lake trail
will offer an interpretive booklet and sign posts explaining
the ecology in the Berm Lake area.
