+35 Amazing Ontario Boardwalk Trails for Scenic Hikes in Ontario
Nothing screams summer in Ontario more than restaurant patios and boardwalk hikes! There’s something about boardwalks over rivers, through marshes or skirting a lakeshore that makes me want to lace up and get out and enjoy some summer sun! If you’re looking for some amazing Ontario boardwalk trails then I have you covered!
There are a few things that I look for when researching where to hike. One of those things is lookouts with views. The other is boardwalks. I’ve hiked countless boardwalks in Ontario! So, I’ve put together a list of my favourite boardwalk trails in Ontario that make for a scenic hike.
The Best Ontario Boardwalk Trails
Any trail is a good trail in my opinion. But I’m a sucker for scenic hikes, from trails with awesome views to ones with interesting features like art or abandoned cars. While on the hunt for boardwalk trails near me I was thrilled to discover there are a ton in Ontario. The following are the best Ontario boardwalk trails.
Hardy Lake Provincial Park
One of the best places to hike in Muskoka is Hardy Lake Provincial Park. Located just outside Gravenhurst, it’s easily one of the best free Ontario Parks you can visit. Beyond the allure of hiking around a beautiful lake, over large stretches of granite and through enchanted moss covered forests, it also has one of, if not the best boardwalks in Ontario.
The Hardy Lake Loop Trail is approximately 8 km long and takes you all the way around the lake. And I mean it when I say boardwalks because there’s not one or two, there’s a bunch of boardwalks in Hardy Lake Provincial Park. Some are short and merely carry you across marshy ground. While some are long and incredibly scenic as they stretch out over the lake. And in my opinion the Hardy Lake Loop Trail is one of the best Ontario trails!
Parking and Park is free
Island Lake Conservation Area
One of Ontario’s best conservation areas is Island Lake Conservation Area. This over 300 hectare park has so much to offer, especially if you’re looking for things to do in Orangeville.
Along with trails, an outdoor theatre and a sugar bush, there’s an incredible lake that’s ideal for fishing and paddling. But one of the biggest draws to the park is the epic boardwalk.
If you’re looking for a great hike in Ontario that has it all then opt for Island Lake Conservation Area’s Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail. This 8.3 km loop trail takes you around the park’s lake. The trail takes you through woodland, past marshes and yes, you guessed it over boardwalks! Yes, you read that right! There are multiple boardwalks at Island Lake Conservation Area. Some take you over long stretches of water while others take you through enchanted forests.

Mono Cliffs Provincial Park
Another great place to hike near Orangeville and one that is becoming ever so popular is Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. Set over 700 hectares this park is home to a wealth of landscapes, from epic cliff top views to a picturesque marshy lake.
Mono Cliffs is also home to the Niagara Escarpment and part of the iconic Brue Trail. But the most coveted part of the park is a secluded short trail.
This beloved trail is called the Spillway Trail and is just over 1 km long. But it ticks all the stunning boxes! It takes you down a short flight of stairs, then along a winding boardwalk flanked by towering rock walls and to a dead end. It’s definitely one of the best Ontario boardwalk trails and most magical!
Tips: Do not park on the road near the park. If the parking lot is full then choose another trail. To ensure you get to enjoy the park try early on weekends or opt to go during the week.

White Water Walk
One of Ontario’s top destinations for locals and international travellers alike is Niagara Falls. Boasting one of the world’s most incredible waterfalls, Niagara Falls offers a ton of great adventures and activities that take place in and around the Falls. You can do everything from zipline across the gorge to hop on a boat and get up close and misty with the mighty Niagara Falls herself.
Another scenic attraction in Niagara Falls is the White Water Walk. Open from April through October, the walk consists of a ride down an elevator that takes you seventy meters (230 feet) down into the gorge. After a trek through a tunnel you find an awesome boardwalk trail that skirts the edge of one of the world’s fiercest whitewater rapids. Along the nearly a kilometre long boardwalk you’ll also find a couple of epic lookouts.
This is part of one of the Niagara Parks attractions and has a fee
Point Pelee National Park
There are few National Parks in Ontario and one of them is Point Pelee National Park. Stretching out into Lake Erie, there are so many reasons to visit Point Pelee National Park.
The park is home to a diverse range of landscapes, seventy percent of which is marshland. It’s also a birders paradise with rare species calling the park home and its in line with the migration route. Point Pelee also is noteworthy for being home to Canada’s most southern mainland point.
Another fabulous reason to visit is Point Pelee’s amazing Marsh Boardwalk Trail. This 1 km loop trail takes you through part of the park’s stunning marsh.

Ontario’s most famous and busiest park is Algonquin Provincial Park. Located almost an hour east of Huntsville, Algonquin is a massive park at 7000 square km. The park is a popular Ontario road trip destination from spring through the fall and is home to over 20 different trails.
Many of the busier trails include epic lookouts like the Barron Canyon Trail, Centennial Ridges Trail and the Lookout Trail. But there are two gems that have boardwalks and one is also wheelchair accessible.

Cheltenham Badlands
If you’re on the hunt for incredible places in Ontario that will make you feel like you’re a world away then add Cheltenham Badlands to your list! In the picturesque rolling hills of Caledon you’ll find an out-of-this-world landscape. Badlands is a term reflecting the landscape that appears Mars-like and Cheltenham is one of the best examples of this rare geological phenomenon.
For many years people were able to explore the Cheltenham Badlands freely. Now, to help protect the sensitive area, you can no longer walk on the Badlands. But don’t be dismayed! They’ve created a stretch of boardwalk where you can safely walk over this wonder. You can access the boardwalk from the road or by hiking the Badlands Trail. The Ontario Trails Council considers the Badlands Trail one of the top Ontario trails.

North Bay is known as a destination that’s perfect for outdoor adventures. With a wealth of parks and trails, one of the best things to do in North Bay is hike.
My favourite place to hikes in North Bay is Laurier Woods Conservation Area. This 250-acre park is located a short 5-minute drive from downtown. It’s home to a variety of landscapes that include forests, wetlands and rocky outcrops.

One of the most popular attractions in Prince Edward County is Sandbanks Provincial Park. The park is located along the shores of Lake Ontario and is best known for its beautiful beaches.
In addition to the park’s beaches, Sandbanks is known for its dunes. The dunes ecosystem is incredibly fragile and offers a unique place to hike. And one of the 6 hiking trails in Sandbanks Provincial Park takes you through the dunes.
That trail is the Sandbanks Dunes Trail. To allow for hikers to experience this part of the park, they’ve added boardwalks over the dunes. The trail is a relatively easy 2.5 km loop and is one of the most unique boardwalk trails in Ontario.
The Sandbanks Dunes Trail takes you through varying terrain. Along with the dunes, you’ll enjoy views of the water. Plus, it’s a great trail for birding.
Travel Tip: Almost the entire trail is exposes with no shade. I recommend wearing a hat and plenty of sunscreen. In addition, if you’re hiking the trail in the summer, the morning is the best time.

Lily Creek Boardwalk
In the heart of Sudbury is one of my favourite easy boardwalk trails. Lily Creek Boardwalk Trail is a short 350 metres. While one of the shortest hiking trails in Sudbury, it’s a great spot to spot birds.
The Lily Creek Boardwalk is located next to James Jerome Sports Complex. While this popular sports hub is buzzing with families, I was blown away by the fact that I only spotted one person on the trail.
Other than the one person, I did spot a number of species from the boardwalk. Surrounded by wetlands, I saw a variety of birds, like great blue heron, and other animals, like turtles and frogs.
One of the coolest parts of the trail is that it offers an awesome view of one of the top attractions in Sudbury, Science North.
Tower Trail
Along the Lake Huron Coast, between Kincardine and Southampton, is MacGregor Point Provincial Park. Ever since visiting the first time, it quickly became one of my favourite parks.
MacGregor Point Provincial Park has a lot to offer including camping, beaches, and a number of hiking trails. However, the park is best known for it’s popular Huron Fringe Birding Festival that draws thousands every year.
A great trail in MacGregor Point Provincial Park for lovers of birds or boardwalks is the Tower Trail. This 3.5km trail loops around a large wetland. Plus, there’s a number of interesting information boards along the trail.
Near the start of the Tower Trail is a lookout tower that offers sweeping views across the wetlands. On each visit to the park, I’ve spotted a number of different species of birds from the tower. I’ve seen everything from warblers to kingfishers.
In addition, there’s also a bird blind. On the opposite side from the lookout tower is the bird blind. It offers a great opportunity to spot birds and other wildlife like beavers.
Insider Tip: There’s another boardwalk trail in the park, Huron Fringe Trail, which is 1.2 km.

If you’re looking for a great boardwalk trail near Toronto then north just north of the city to Markham. Milne Dam Conservation Park is one of the best places to visit in Markham.
Milne Dam Conservation Park covers over 300 acres, making it the largest park in the city of Markham. The park is just south of the busy Highway 7, but it offers a tranquil escape.
The park is home to winding trails that are paved along with a section of boardwalk. The boardwalk trail winds through a section of the park’s forest.
One of the cool parts of the park is that it features two large bridges. Leading out of the forest, the boardwalk leads to the first bridge that crosses Milne Creek.
Keep going as the next bridge is a suspension bridge that spans over 400 feet and is over 65 feet about the Rouge River.
Insider Tip: Milne Dam Conservation Park is free to visit during the week. However, there’s small fee to visit the park on weekends and holidays.

More Incredible Boardwalks in Ontario
Can’t get enough?! You’re in luck! While this list of over 30 boardwalks in Ontario is quite extensive, it’s only a fraction of what you can find if you get out to each Conservation Area, National Park, Provincial Park and city park in the province. Below you’ll find more incredible trails in Ontario with boardwalks but I hope these inspire you to get out and find a few on your own!
Tobermory
Many flock to Tobermory for its natural beauty and wealth of outdoor adventures. Beyond all the amazing places to hike on the Bruce Peninsula, like in the National Park, on Flowerpot Island and Lions Head, Tobermory has a secret boardwalk trail that many miss. The boardwalk runs from the Northern Terminus Cairn of the Bruce Trail and east along Bay Street and offers various lookouts over Little Tub Harbour.
Pinery Provincial Park
One of the top reasons to visit Huron County is Pinery Provincial Park. This beautiful park on the shores of Lake Huron, just south of Grand Bend, has a wealth of things to do all year long. Pinery is a hotspot in the summer for camping and its 10 km of beach. There are also 10 hiking trails, 14 kms of bike trails and for all your winter needs there’s yurt and cabin camping available and 38 km of ski trails.
Pinery Provincial Park is also home to two rare dunes, an Oak Savanna and Coastal Dune. These are delicate ecological sites and so they’ve created an incredible stretch of boardwalks to help protect them as well as allow you to see them up close.
One stretch of boardwalk is a traditional boardwalk leading you out to the shoreline of Lake Huron. But other stretches use a rolling boardwalk made up of boards and repurposed firehoses to allow them to be rolled up and moved. This is easily one of the most ingenious boardwalk trails in Ontario.
Mel Swart Lake Gibson Conservation Park
If you’re looking for hidden gems in Ontario you may be surprised to know there’s many in the Niagara region. One of which is the Mel Swart Lake Gibson Conservation Park in Thorold. On the shores of Lake Gibson, Niagara’s largest inland lake, this 12 hectare park is perfect for small hikes, birding, fishing and catching the sunset. And it’s also home to a lovely boardwalk that runs along the lake that even has a small lookout tower.
Sifton Bog
In London, Ontario you’ll find the Sifton Bog. This is an acidic bog, meaning that only a few species of plants can grow in it. Strangely enough, most of which are found in more northern climates. The Sifton Bog is also the most southerly large acidic bog found in Canada. This unique ecological feature is set on 40 hectares and is home to a variety of trails, wildlife and a boardwalk. The winding boardwalk trail is approximately 1 kilometre and even brings you to a platform that stretches into Redmond’s Pond.

I’ve been hiking parts of the Nokiidaa Trail for years now and love every minute of it whether it’s in the winter or summer. The Nokiidaa Trail is an incredible 20 kilometre long trail that runs through East Gwillimbury, Newmarket and Aurora.
The trail follows the East Holland River and can easily be done in segments. While most of the trail is gravel there are numerous bridges and an epic stretch of boardwalk through the Rogers Reservoir Conservation Area’s marshland.

Grundy Lake Provincial Park
A park that’s reminiscent of art from the Group of Seven is Grundy Lake Provincial Park. The park is home to the classic Georgian Bay landscape as well as great natural sand beaches and is a popular spot for camping, paddling and hikers.

But there’s another trail in Awenda that is home to boardwalks. The Wendat Trail is a roughly 4 kilometre loop that takes you around a lake, through various terrain and boardwalks. There’s also a booklet you can purchase that I highly recommend that tells the story of the area’s past, from when the Wendat called this area home to the white men who came after.
Singing Sands
Another great place to hike on the Bruce Peninsula is Singing Sands. Just south of Tobermory, this large beach area on Dorcas Bay is also part of the Bruce Peninsula National Park. Here you’ll find the Singing Sands Loop Trail.

You’ll find the park full of fun things to do, from a 15th century reconstructed Iroquoian Village to 19 km of hiking trails.
You’ll also find the Crawford Lake Trail, an Ontario trail that has all sorts of whimsy. The trail starts off on the Hide and Seek Trail with wooden animal carvings that educate on species at risk. But the big draw is the elevated boardwalk taking you around Crawford Lake.
So, whether you’re looking to share a casual hike with a friend or looking for a romantic place to hike one of these Ontario boardwalk trails will suit your occasion.
