Hiking
The 'Mast Trail' is reminiscent of a forest path that was used in the 19th century to transport large trees. Large pines were felled for ship masts and carried along this forest trail to Little Rouge Creek where the logs were washed downriver to Lake Ontario and eventually shipped to shipyards in Europe.

Hiking
The mast trail not only offers its visitors a scenic hike but also provides them with an opportunity to test their endurance through its demanding terrain. It winds through picturesque valleys offering hikers remarkable vistas with constant adjustment to the steep ascents, all the while being surrounded by the serene beauty. On this epic journey, however, hikers may encounter unwanted company, which will constantly remind them who the real dwellers of this land are. So, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants is recommended to protect oneself from these feisty little forest dwellers
