Route Description for Mallard Lake Trail
Hiking along the Mallard Lake Trail is a rough and rugged experience that will require you to push your way through overgrown stretches of terrain. The route is fairly short, and there is only a minimal elevation gain of 180 m, which certainly helps in reducing the amount of time required to reach the lake.
Setting out on the trail, you will initially climb uphill along a logging road before reaching a tower on top of the hill. From here, continue along the trail as the forest cover begins to thicken into a narrow tunnel of overgrown brush. Reaching the shores of the lake, you will be able to take in the natural beauty of the serene woodland atmosphere. Once you have finished at the lake, make your way back down the same route to return to your vehicle.
