Route Description for McNair Lake Trail
Although challenging, the McNair Lake Trail is a breathtaking hike that will take you through a variety of landscapes and pass by a number of scenic woodland lakes along the way. Setting out from the trailhead, make your way east through the forest as you enter Tetrahedron Provincial Park. The trail will intermittently work through areas of cleared meadow and dense forest, as you pass by the serene waters of the Tannis, Gilbert, and Edwards lakes. After passing Edwards Lake and the cabin that can be found nearby, follow the trail to the south to avoid making your way up Mount Steele, which is a fun adventure for another day. Eventually, you will skirt around the southern edge of Chapman Lake before arriving at the end of the trail near McNair Lake. Take some time to explore the area and absorb the amazing scenery before heading back along the trail to return to your vehicle.
