Description

Make your own adventure at this amazing getaway to Six Mile Lake Provincial Park, a stunning landscape that once inspired the brushes of Canada’s most prolific artist collective, the Group of Seven!

In the morning, we’ll spend some time meandering the hiking trails and finish with a group lunch. 

The afternoon is then your opportunity to create your own adventure. If you are looking for activities, you can rent a canoe or kayak to explore the lake’s many islands and hidden bays. For those who prefer a slower pace, the park’s three sandy beaches are ideal for lounging with a book or taking a refreshing dip in the clear water. 

The atmosphere for the day is relaxed, making it easy to drift between adventure and rest. Come along and dive in!

Please note that any rental costs are not included in the price of your registration.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
