This trail follows a deep gorge cut into the Manitoba escarpment. The hike takes you through aspen and mixed-wood forests, along and over small streams and along steep shale slopes that give endless views of tree covered slopes and a glimpse of the Manitoba Lake Plain. Wooden stairs, a small bridge and rope guides help with the steep ascents/descents on portions of the trail. Poison Ivy is abundant and the trail can be muddy during wet periods.
