One of the best hiking trails in Haliburton is Circuit of 5 Viewpoints. This roughly 5 km loop trail is close to other Haliburton Highlands attractions like Hawk Lake Log Chute and Buttermilk Falls.
Circuit of 5 Viewpoints is one of the best Ontario fall hikes! Because, as you guessed, it offers multiple lookouts over expanses of forests. Plus, you can even see lakes and rivers in the distance!
The trail quickly ascends to take you up along one of the many ridges in the Highlands. You’re essentially hiking along the spine of the Canadian Shield. Along the trail you’ll hike under a canopy of various trees that include maple, cherry, and white pine. Be sure to mind your footing as you traverse rock and roots.
At each of the five unique viewpoints you’ll get a new glimpse of the area. One thing to note is that the first one is nearly hidden. It’s shortly after the trail evens out and offers a bench to take in the scenic view. But of all the views, I like the fourth one the best!
There’s a large parking lot at the trailhead, where you’ll also find a portable washroom.
Travel Tip: If you want to make a day of hiking, the trail also connects to Crests of Kennisis Trail that leads to the Historic Log Chute.
