Lake Laurentian Loop

Pretty good for mountain biking

A lovely quiet hike with one steep incline. Good panoramic nature views with the smoke stacks off in the distance. Parking and trail use is free!#discoversudbury#tmactravels

The experience was mind blowing, it was a 10km trail and I hiked there.

Beautiful hike, but 10 minutes into the hike (on the trail I was on) it very rocky, so I wouldn't recommend the use of stroller or wheelchairs.

Lake Laurentian loop is a 10 km trail best to visit in color season. You can see all types of fall vista: color forest over lakes, wetlands and panoramic view from rocky mountain, There are numerous scenic lookouts on the trail.

I try to do a local hike or ride when I drop my son off at Laurentian. I started at the ski chalet (?) parking lot and headed out in a clockwise direction. The trails are very well marked and it starts off without much elevation gain. There are some ridges and some steep parts; but, overall it's a a fairly level hike with only 195 meters of elevation gain overall. I didn't see any other hikers until I passed near where the south western parking lot and access are. Overall, I was completely alone out here for almost 2 hours. If not for the sound of highway 17 at times, it feels quite isolated.The 'peak' gives some nice views in all directions; however, while not overly dramatic, it gives a nice view to the expanse of relative wilderness so close to the city.I covered 11.6 km in total and it took 2 hours and 20 minutes. I would imagine one might want to take longer to explore certain areas - but I was on a tight timeline.

A good 10 km medium difficult hike with multiple viewpoint near both the trail head , sharing photo of 360 view point Lookout. Less than 10kms from Sudbury Town centre.

I loved this trail...I only did a very tiny section of it with the dogs... They loved it very much too... Need hiking shoes for sure... Enjoy...

Every time we visit Sudbury, we make time to hit this loop! Very beautiful, moderately difficult... great for beginning hikers! Beautiful scenic overlooks! Highly highly recommend!

I'm ranking the loop, not the parking lot itself. You can park here, but the entrance is through a neighborhood and there are not a lot of spots. Would suggest to go to the main parking spot for the loop. That said, the loop is beautiful, many trails and a lot of things to see. Mildly challenging, but it's definitively doable for anyone.
