Top 5 Lookouts in the Whiteshell

Just because our beloved province is lacking in mountains does not mean that it doesn’t have its fair share of spectacular views. The Whiteshell Provincial Park happens to be home to many!

4.6 km trail leads you through a small drainage basin typically found in the Precambrian Shield. A shortcut reduces the length of the trail to 2.4 km before it reaches McGillivray Lake.
