Little Campbell Lake Loop

The feel

The singletrack starts at the Raspberry Parking Area and heads north through thick muskeg woods, then follows the perimeter of Little Campbell Lake. The tread is rooty and uneven and crosses a wetland at the south end.

Look for mushrooms, birds and lots of moose. Fall color comes with the season, and the trail is very popular with hikers, mountain bikers and, in winter, cross-country skiers. People also fish and paddle at the lake in summer, and a small floating dock is used for fishing.

What to expect

Crowds and best time

Parking

The loop starts at the Raspberry Parking Area, the first lot on Raspberry Road before a bridge. The Little Campbell Lake lot is the first road on the right after the main Kincaid entrance.

Dogs

Welcome on a leash. Walkers and dogs are not allowed on the groomed cross-country ski trails in winter.

Kids

Rated easy.

Hazards

Muddy sections, moose and bears. Making lots of noise on the trail is advised.

Season and access

Open year-round. Some Kincaid trails are muddy and wet and may be closed in early spring.

Mingo says

Come in fall for the color, and keep your distance from moose during the rut. Avoid early spring, when the wet trails may be closed.

Before you go

• Park at Raspberry if you may be out after closing; it is the only lot reachable once the park closes.
• Pack bug spray, and expect mud on the trail.
• Keep your dog on a leash.
