Kilgorie Pine River Loop

This is a cool hike on a hot day. You begin with the turbulent Pine River pounding alongside you, pass by a power plant ruin and then overlook a peaceful lake where Atlantic salmon spawn. Stop at Bell Lookout and admire the van Nostrand Family Nature Reserve – all in six glorious (and occasionally hilly) kilometres.
