Frontenac Provincial Park is known for its multitude of hiking trails and canoe routes and we have paddled and hiked many of them over the years and love it there.

If you have been following our adventures, you know we are frequent flyers to Frontenac Provincial Park. This Mother’s Day weekend, we decided to hike a section of the Slide Lake Loop. The main loop is 21 kilometres, with a haul to the park office, making it way too big for my little guys legs to complete. So instead, listed on the Friends of Frontenac website, we opted for the Small Slide Lake Loop which we would access off the Rideau Trail off of Perth Road. This would be a more manageable 13 kilometre hike instead.
We are no strangers to Frontenac Provincial Park. We have been here many times canoe camping, hiking, and I have taken my outdoor classes here for their big canoe trip each year. This visit we decided to hike a new trail section. We needed a trail that was shorter in length, as we knew we would be here for only a couple of hours in the morning. With that in mind, we headed to the park to hike the Doe Lake Loop.
