Mizzy Lake Trail - Hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park
One of the best trails I have hiked on... In the heart of Algonquin Provincial Park off Highway 60, this 11-12km loop trail offers a true "wilderness" feel with plenty of opportunites to view wildlife (moose, deer, beaver, otter, different kinds of birds...). I spotted several hoofprints, animal tracks, moose/ deer droppings, but could not spot a single moose or deer :-(
My luck with wildlife sightings remain elusive.
The trail was moderately challenging, many patches of snow and parts of the trail was flooded with water melting off the snow - made it very interesting. I was greeted with rain/ sleet in the last hour of the hike.
Overall it took my 5 hrs to complete (of course I had stopped and admired the surrounding beauty many times thus maybe taking an hour and a half longer than what it usually take to complete).
