Route Description for Nunatak Nature Trail
During the springtime, the mosquitos along the Nunatak Nature Trail can become numerous and bothersome. We, therefore, recommend bringing lots of bug repellent and wearing both pants and long sleeves if you are planning on doing the route in the buggy springtime.
Navigating the Nunatak Nature Trail is incredibly straightforward. As the route is a circuit, it can be completed in either direction, so all you have to do is follow the pathway as it navigates along the shoreline of several small lakes. So take your time and - if you're interested - stop to read the various information plaques found along the route duration.
