Round Lake Resort

Walks and Hikes

There is a great walking (or jogging) trail in The Bonnechere Provincial Park. Park on the highway and walk in. Follow the trail map. There are signs once you reach the trail.

There are also great walking trails in Foymount Provincial Park, which is directly across the lake. Driving: turn right at the highway and drive about 7km to the Red Rock Road. Turn right and follow the signs to the park (about 10km around the lake).

Half way up the lane to the highway is a path to the right. You can follow this path for a short walk around (and through) neighbouring properties.

You can also walk across highway 62 to the driving range. If no one is hitting balls you can walk back onto the old farm land. There are some 100 year plus log barns back there.

The view of Golden Lake from the top of “Blueberry mountain” is fabulous. It gets it local name from the masses of wild blueberries at the top. The walk takes about 45 minutes and is a steady gentle climb to the top. It begins at the Pakkotina Trail in the Renfrew County Forrest which is 1km on the left as you leave Deacon.
Directions: Deacon is about 25 km from Round Lake Resort. Turn left on to highway 58 at the end of the drive and the left at he flashing light at highway 60. After turning left at the Renfrew County Forrest sign, drive in about 100 yards to the parking lot. Follow the trail to where there is a distinct Y junction. Take the right arm of the Y and follow the trail to the top. Don’t take the right turn on to an indistinct trail after the first hill in the trail. Continue past slightly downhill until you reach the Y. At the top follow the trail around the summit to the view of Golden Lake - it’s breathtaking. And don’t forget to eat the blueberries if they are in season.

Shaw Woods - trails in 120 acres of virgin Ottawa Valley forest. It’s north of Lake Dore on county road 9 just off highway 41

There is another walking trail on the Pakkotina trail from highway 62. The trail is on your right on the way to Pembroke on Highway 62.
