Blueberry Mountain Trail is easy to follow and clearly marked. For the most part it is a wider path with a gentle incline. What I really enjoyed was the multiple signage along the route explaining the flora and fauna points of interest. This really is a lovely walk through the woods with all kinds of flora, ponds, streams, and birds. Of note: the last 140 m to the first lookout has a steeper incline. There are two fantastic lookouts at the top of Blueberry Mountain. And as Howard pointed out (if you have a good enough eye), you can see Manitou Mountain and the top of the chair lift for Calabogie Ski Resort off in the distance. You have to look carefully, but it’s there!
I found it interesting that the property was once home to a wilderness school (now that’s the kind of school I would have enjoyed). “cliffLAND, previously referred to as the Alba Wilderness Property and once home to the Alba Wilderness School is composed of 1250 acres of beautiful wilderness located high in the hills of the Lanark Highlands” You can read more about the property’s history on the cliffLAND website. What really won me over while researching the hike however was when the cliffLAND website stated: “The Clifford’s believe that humans, wildlife, and pure wilderness can co-exist together.” All the love my friends, all the love.
