Description
The trail was built to link McClean Lake Trail to Chaulk's Run, but cat footprints in the snow plus a very rare sighting lead to the trail being dubbed Lynx. As the trail gains elevation after branching off McLean Lake Trail, look back for a view towards Goose Bay with ski and snowshoe trails below. Viewing the land from a vantage point is the best way to gain trail orientation. After initial climbing, the trail is not difficult and it leads to a very fun "Camel Back" section of Chaulk's Run.
