Join us for a Backcountry Women Adventure Women hike on Hunt Lake Trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park. We will hike a portion of the Hunt Lake Trail (turnaround is at about the halfway point). This is a difficult hike, and will serve as a great experience for those that are ready to challenge themselves without having to commit to the full distance of this trail. We will take a break at the halfway point of the trail, enjoy a bit of swimming or dip in the water with lunch, and then hike back out. It'll be a very fun and challenging event!
If you wish to carpool to this event, please see details under the carpools section below.
