- Algonquin Logging Museum Trail: The 1.3-kilometre loop trail features a recreated camboose camp and other displays that illustrate the logging history of this area.
- Bat Lake Trail: Work your way along the 5.8-kilometre trail to experience the park’s ecology, acidic Bat Lake, and a hemlock stand.
- Big Pines Trail: Follow along the trail guide for this 2.9-kilometre loop trail to learn about logging history and pine ecology.
- Centennial Ridges Trail: If you’re looking for a longer outing, check out this 10.4-kilometre loop trail with views along two high ridges.
- Hemlock Bluff Trail: Take in views of Jack Lake on the 3.5-kilometre loop trail that winds its way through mixed forest.
- Spruce Bog Boardwalk: Get an up-close look at two northern spruce bogs on this 1.5-kilometre loop trail that contains several boardwalks.
