There is an option for a long and short loop and we will hike the 4.6 km long loop, which leads to McGillivaray Lake. The trail is located a short ways north of Caddy Lake in the central area of the Whiteshell. The trail follows through forest, across rocky areas and along the shoreline of the lake.

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