Add to My List Check Off

The Tilson Lake Loop is a multipurpose trail located in the western portion of the park, as that side side of the park is not as heavily forested as the eastern side, and provides views over open meadows and rolling hills for hikers, horseback riders and bikers. Take advantage of the diverse photographic and wildlife viewing opportunities along this trail. Don't forget to bring your binoculars and camera! The trail is 38.5 km 2-day loop and takes hikers an average of 11 hours to hike, but which can be joined up with some of the nearby trails to create a longer trip. The trail has few markings, but is wide and difficult to lose, and there are large, green signs clearly marking all junctions along the way. There are two campsites on the trail which have privies, fire pits, food storage bins, firewood, picnic tables and plenty of space for tents. Tilson Campsite, situated high above the surrounding aspen parkland offers a splendid view of the lake below. It is possible to snowshoe this trail in the winter, but access can be difficult after heavy snow fall. The trailhead is about 1.5 hours (106 km) from Wasagaming.
