9:07 am - 9.8 km / 8 minutes - 9:16 am
The first is a short and easy 4km (1.5hrs) loop named Louil Hill which is best hiked clockwise to provide spectacular views over Alexander Bay and surrounding communities.
Trek through an alder bed to discover a forest in transition. Keep right to discover sections of balsam fir forest severely damaged by insect kills. As you alternate from thick forest to open pockets, look for new growth – it may appear stunted, that is the impact that moose and rabbit have had on the park’s balsam fir forest. Wind your way back into the mature black spruce forest and catch the few rays of light that are able to peak through the thick forest canopy.
Midway, a set of stairs can transport you up from the forest floor and up to the barren hill top of Louil Hill. From here, take in the expansive view of Alexander Bay and watch the thick boreal forest roll from coastline to inland as far as the eye can see.
