Hikes

UofA Access Road Gate to Stove Lake via Ministik Fire Tower
At almost 10 km, this “2-Car” hike will test your stamina, but the trails themselves should be easy to follow throughout. After spending the first half on the Waskahegan Trail, you transition to a former cutline that is often traversed by sleds in the winter, making it fairly easy to follow.
UofA Access Road Gate via Five Meadows to Mandy Lake Parking
This “2-Car” hike is an epic expedition that will take you through the heart of the Ministik. You’ll experience easy sections on a road and clear trails, and a series of open meadows where there are no trails. Note the hike’s difficulty rating: it’s one of the most challenging on this site.
Waskahegan Berg Section - 2 Car
This hike is a perfect starter for many “2-Car” hikes listed on this site. This relatively short hike is part of the Waskahegan Trail and, as such, is usually fairly easy to follow. It features the opportunity to visit “Berg Stopover,” a quaint little hut that welcomes passing hikers.
Waskahegan Berg Section - Out & Back
This hike is a perfect starter hike on a somewhat secluded trail that is usually in good shape. The route is rated as “Moderate” because it’s a little longer than other starter hikes. This is a part of the Waskahegan Trail and, as such, is periodically maintained and marked. It features the opportunity to visit “Berg Stopover”, a quaint little hut that welcomes passing hikers. The hike is “out and back” so the idea is walk the length of trail and then double back to the parking spot where you started.
