Montgomery Creek Loop Trail

Features River/Creek · Views · Wildlife

From Victoria Bridge, proceed south on the main trail along the Black River, across the Montgomery Creek Bridge, then to the top of the rocky hill overlooking the bend in the Black River. Turn east onto the Montgomery Creek Loop (blue) Trail. This trail parallels the Montgomery Creek going east for about 5 kilometres, meeting the main trail at Otter Junction. There is an overnight camp area shortly before reaching Otter Junction, indicated by a yellow-blazed access trail to the south.

The trail to the right goes up the hill and continues east to Petticoat Junction. The trail to the left goes down into a valley and is the return to Victoria bridge. The combination of the blue and main trail make a very nice loop. It is very rugged and suitable for day use by experienced hikers. Several steep ascents and descents require extra care, especially in wet weather. There are many excellent views of Montgomery Creek, beaver ponds and the open country to the south.

Total distance is about 12 kilometres and will require probably 5 hours to complete.
