Route Description for Lineham Ridge Trail
This trail leaves from the Lineham Provincial Recreation day-use area. There are a few different trails leaving from here, including the Lineham Twin Peaks route and the Serendipity Peak route. Make your way up the main trail from the parking area for 1.7 km before reaching a junction. Take the left trail for Lineham Ridge and begin gaining more elevation.
