Description

McCrae lake is an absolutely gorgeous conservation reserve at the Southern end of the Canadian Shield. Just a couple of hours away from Toronto, it's very quiet this time of year. We'll follow a trail through the forest that ultimately ends up at an epic scenic lookout where we'll stop for lunch.

Depending on snow levels we'll either hike or snowshoe. We have 9 pairs of snowshoes and a good collection of ice spikes for folks (first come, first served - choose them in your checkout).

This is an out and back 8km hike, not overly challenging but you'll want to be in decent shape because the snow can make things harder.

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.
