Explore the A-Mik-Zii-Bi Interpetive Trail to learn about the rich history, medicines and connection that the Anishnaabek have to the land. This self guided hike will take you on a 3km loop starting at the Trailhead off of Highway 637 along Mervs Landing to the Mahzenazning Lake canoe launch. Pedestal signs are mounted throughout the trail detailing the indigenous knowledge of a variety of plant medicines found throughout the route. This interpretive experience engages the visitor to open their mind and connect to the land through the lens of the Anishinabe.

Get your gear and come hike this beautiful new 6.9-kilometer loop that takes you to the summit overlooking the white quartzite Mountains of the Killarney Mountain range. Mervs Landing is a 6.9 km trail that begins at the trailhead at the Point Grondine Park. This single track, naturally surfaced trail flows through hardwood and Pine stands, crosses beaver damns via handcrafted pine bridges to the Recollet’s summit overlooking the Killarney Mountain Range.

Relax for lunch while taking in the rich history of the Anishnaabek people of Point Grondine, Killarney and the French River. Interpretive signage at the summit highlights the connection the Anishnaabek have to this vast land. The trail down to Mahzenazing Lake will give you an opportunity to take in some breathtaking scenery (and great photo ops!) and gives you a glimpse into the landscape of the Point Grondine Park.

Located only 800m from the Trailhead parking lot, this walk-in site is designed for family campers that want the backcountry experience without traveling deep into the interior. This site is also ideal for trippers that have a late arrival and require a campsite close to the trailhead before venturing out into the backcountry.

PG 1– Comes equipped with two wooden tent platforms, fire pit, benches, cooking space and a picnic table. The site can be accessed 800 meters along the Mahzenazing Lake Access Trail and can accommodate up to a maximum of 10 people.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE ONE CANOE AT THE WATER CROSSING FOR THE NEXT HIKER.
