Description:

The Old Pines Nature Trail is located within Morice Mountain Nordic Ski area. Fixed up in 2009, the trail starts in an old sawmill landing and heads north up a recent skid trail. The trail winds around mature second growth logging plantation before coming out onto the wetland surrounding Beaver Pelt Lake. Wooden boardwalks provide a good glimpse of a Beaver Lodge and Dam as well as some of the wetland’s tiny carnivorous plants, the Sundew.

This trail is great for families with smaller kids and is easy to complete.
