Itinerary description

Show original

Nice walk and very pleasant, the path is well marked.

Over 8,500 years ago, Fred's Mountain formed a small island in the ancient Ojibway-Barlow Sea that covered the land.
On this mound rich in history, you will walk on large rocky capes dotted with small jack pines. The trail also takes a fabulous "river of rocks". In the days of the Ojibway Sea, large stones were transported to the island in winter by ice, while in summer, waves swept small rocks and sand off the island.

Du lichens, donc des roches froides

Lichens, organisms of symbiosis between algae and fungi, proliferate on poor soils open to light. The albedo effect, or reflection of solar radiation caused by the light color of these plants, helps maintain a cooler temperature on the ground.
