Finding Your Way in the Wilderness Area

The Five Bridge Lakes Wilderness Area (FBLWA) is a vast natural expanse of 8,600 hectares with historic trails, canoe routes and an estimated 200-year old settler route, the Old St. Margaret’s Bay Road.

Visitors should treat the area with respect and also all the creatures who reside there.

Always remember to keep safety in mind and leave no trace. Cell service is spotty to non-existent in some areas.
