Freeman Road – West Slide Junction
A Hike for Hikers! Travel north through Gould Lake Conservation Area, almost exclusively on trail, with challenging hills and terrain and splendid views. Wear your boots, and keep your eyes open for wildlife!

Coming out on to Perth Road, take it easy for the last few kms to Maple Leaf Road.
