Mushroom Rock Trail

The iconic Mushroom Rock on St Fort Farm, Clarens

A favourite day hike for all ages. The Mushroom Rock Trail is approximately a 2-hour walk that takes you all along the Little Caledon River, where there are many inviting spots to have a picnic or just to sit down and relax before starting the gradual climb up St Fort Mountain to the base of Mushroom Rock. For the last stretch, there are 2 route options. One includes a steep yet gentle scenic route for all ages. For the more daring, there is an alternate steep and slippery route which entails a fun trek up steep ladders and climbing through caves with an enchanting view of the river down below.
