Description
The perimeter trail starts by going through a small patch of woods behind the gatehouse. It emerges into the campground and travels along the edge of the park. Two lines of Red Pine trees form a tunnel that turns and travels behind some cabins. The cabins are up on the cliffs overlooking the beach.
The trail then crosses the field where there are several benches overlooking the beach. There is a shelter at the road along the beach. Continue on the road and pick up the trail again where the road turns away from the beach. There is anothe strip of Red Pine Trees along the edge of the park showing where the trail goes. The trail then turns into the woods along the back of the campground and travels through a small swamp before emerging on the road near the entrance.
Directions
For directions to the park go to the Murray Beach Provincial Park page.
After entering the park you will soon come to the gatehouse. There is a day use fee to use the park during the summer months. After paying your fee return to the parking area on the right just before the gatehouse. The trail follows along the back of the parking lot and crosses the road between the parking lot and the entrance.
