Rockey Lake Trail

Trail Overview

The Rocky Lake Trail is an easy route that stretches from the northern tip of Jim Horne Lake to Renfrew Crossroads, situated in the heart of the former Renfrew Gold District community. This trail is primarily composed of hard-packed dirt, with sections featuring washouts, large puddles, and small muddy areas. It provides access to Rocky Lake and numerous ATV trails, making it a versatile and engaging route for outdoor enthusiasts. High-clearance vehicles are recommended to navigate the varied terrain. The Renfrew Gold District is dotted with numerous abandoned gold mines, remnants of its bustling past. Exploring these sites, you can find evidence of the former community, such as old mining equipment, foundations of buildings, and even remnants of the wooden boardwalks that once connected the town. The area is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Additionally, the rivers and streams in the district offer opportunities for gold panning, where you might find small flakes of gold, giving a glimpse into the district's rich mining history.
