The Polyphemus Trail is the park’s largest loop, winding through mixed forest and tracing sections of McLeod Lake’s shoreline. While there’s no official explanation for the name, it likely draws from Greek mythology, where Polyphemus—the one-eyed giant from The Odyssey—symbolizes untamed nature. Given that other name references in the park like Pegasus and Aphrodite, the theme may reflect the harmony of sky, earth, and water that defines the park’s landscape.

The trail itself is mostly easy with gentle hills, offering peaceful lake views and an immersive walk through the boreal forest.
