October 29th 2016 Hike to Serpentine Mountain and Mountjoy Falls

MacArthur Lake Road is approximately 30kms south on pine street south Timmins. This is the location for these hikes. The first hike we took was to Serpentine Mountain. It's located just off MacArthur Lake road and the road that branches off to the mountain runs parallel with a power line. We set off on foot down this road for approximately  1 km which brought us to the top of the mountain, although we branched off and scouted for a good view of the area we could not locate any views worth noting. Perhaps next time I'll go up the power lines and check the view from up there, however due to the late start on the trek we were cutting it close and I wanted to get to our second location.
As MacArthur Lake road runs parallel with Triple Lake and Mountjoy river about 3 kms down the road there is an old trail to the left running west, we took the trail for about 450 meters and it branched to the left running south, another 500 meters later, the trail sloped downward and become rocky, in the distance we could clearly hear the falls.We walked a little further and it brought us to the portage trail campsite at the top end of the falls, it is completely enclosed in cedars and is an excellent site for camping. The view from shore is spectacular:

I climbed up a rock embankment and got an overhead view of the falls:

We also went to the bottom of the falls for some more photos:

I look forward to canoeing here next season.
