Gibraltar Rock via Bluff Trail

The trek to Gibraltar Rock via the Bluff Trail is a short but fun adventure in Paul Lake Provincial Park that will take you up to the summit of this distinctive rock formation for some awesome views of the surrounding woodland landscape. With its close proximity to two campsites, this trail is the perfect accompaniment to a weekend of camping in the area.

Setting out from the Paul Lake Campground, follow the trail to the southwest as it enters into the thick cover of the forest. Take some time to enjoy the serene atmosphere of the woodland setting as you meander along the shaded paths towards the rocky outcrop of Gibraltar Rock. Reaching the foot of the hill, the trail will turn to the south and cross over two small streams before beginning the short but steep uphill climb to the vantage point. When you arrive at the top of the hill, you will be greeted by some amazing views looking out across the waters of Paul Lake nestled within the woodland landscape. After taking in the views, retrace your steps through the forest to return to the trailhead at the campground.
