 The
Deer Trail is a 120 kilometer triangular motor route in the
Elliot Lake region and is a must for all visitors. The Deer
Trail has some of the most beautiful, unspoiled landscapes
of the north and hosts a variety of outdoor recreational
activities year round.
The Fire Tower Lookout is a replica of a fire rangers' lookout
and provides a stunning, panoramic view of the area.
Fishing: There are more than 4,000 lakes surrounding Elliot
Lake and dozens of them, some of them over 200 feet deep,
hold the largest stock of lake trout in Ontario. Speckle
and rainbow trout, bass and pike are also plentiful.
Canoeing has a special magic in this paradise of nature.
Routes are mapped that can take two to five days to complete
and canoeists can often explore part of these routes on day
trips. If you don't have a canoe, you can rent one at Laurentian
Lodge.
Hiking: There are hundreds of hiking, walking and backpacking
opportunities along the Deer Trail. The area boasts some
of the most magnificent and geologically significant rock
formations in the world not to mention abandoned logging
camps and mines from a bygone era.
Cycling: The Deer Trail has well-paved roads and many cycling
trials throughout its forests and lakes, and the air is clean,
invigorating and free from pollution.
Golf: There are three golf courses within one and a half
hours.
