Fall hikes in cottage country are a must and the Huckleberry Rock Lookout Trail is a perfect spot to view the autumn leaves this season. This is a 2.9km loop to a scenic lookout point over Lake Muskoka, Ontario that takes about 20mins to get to the top if you’re really hoofing it (like we were). Overall, the hike was easy to navigate (although I can see it being difficult in the winter if it was snow-covered), mostly because there were hoards of people coming up and down the hill, but it was also decently well signed for the average hiker.
