Around the top of Mt Maxwell has amazing viewpoints. Drive up to the Provincial Park. Just as you reach the park boundary, there will be a split rail fence on the right. Park here and the trail begins at the fence. Once you reach the main viewpoint you can scamper down the other side and the trail continues on to some very special lookouts.
