Charleston Lake Provincial Park

The park occupies 23.53 square kilometres (9.08 sq mi) in the Frontenac Axis region, a southern extension of the Canadian Shield.

[3] There is also a rustic cabin which is accessible by water and has lights and a small fridge which are solar-powered.

[4] The lake includes a number of islands and has an irregular shoreline which makes it an interesting location for canoeing and kayaking.

Hikers have permission to cross private land and a well-marked trail leads to the summit with a panoramic 360° view.

The trek requires approximately 2 to 2.5 hours on foot or 1.5 hours on bike, although cyclists must carry their bikes in many places where hard granite jets out of the earth below which forms the mountain.
