The first few kilometres of the Wilderness section are on land owned by Bill and Sandy Valentine of Moore Falls who have generously allowed us to have the trail on their property. The Wilderness section is rugged, on the Pre-Cambrian shield, with many ups and downs. There are only four access points, they are at Moore Falls, Devil's Lake, Victoria Bridge and Sadowa. Unlike the other sections of the Ganaraska Trail, which are fairly easy, the Wilderness Section is NOT suitable for novices and experienced hikers should hike this section, at least the first time, with an experienced hike leader of the Ganaraska Trail. DO NOT hike this section alone.
Blazes indicate a route but no trail is visible.
In May, June and July, the Wilderness is infested with insects. You WILL encounter black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies and horseflies. You MAY also encounter tics, wasps and yellowjackets. If after these warnings you still insist on going into the Wilderness during these months, you had better be prepared. Under no circumstances should anyone enter this cabin, or use it without prior approval of Stanton Airways.
