Craving that fall main character moment? There’s a floating wooden boardwalk in Ontario that can help you recreate just that. Head to Ontario’s Muskoka region and check out Hunters Bay Trail for a long and leisurely hiking adventure.

Located right in Huntsville, Ont., this trail is said to be one of the most amazing hikes in the whole area.

According to Muskoka Tourism, the Hunters Bay Trail is a walking, running and cycling trail adventure that spans 4.6 km in length.

Where does the Hunters Bay Trail start?

Your walking journey begins at the Centre Street bridge near Uponor and heads along the river, under the railway trestle, down the south side of Hunters Bay, through Avery Beach Park and under the Hwy 11 bridge to East Airport Road.

Consider this trail an easy walk. You’ll be mesmerized by its scenic views!

Have a bike? You can also embark on a cycling journey along the trail.

There’s no doubt that the floating boardwalk is the main attraction of the trail. It’s also part of The Great Trail, aka Trans Canada Trail.

It is the world’s longest network of multi-use recreational trails that extends from BC to Newfoundland and north to the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

This trail network connects 24,000 km of trails and 13 provinces and territories. It is described as a “marvel of Canada’s vast landscapes,” per Discover Muskoka.

There’s so much to see and experience in this beautiful part of Ontario; you’ll love every second of this season, especially in the Muskokas!
