The path is all double-track and mostly grass. If you find yourself on a skinny single-track trail you are not on the main trail. The route follows pretty close to the lake until the northwest part but later comes back close to the lake when the trail ends and the road begins. follow the road out of the park, over the bridge, and back into the park then go up to the bait shop and veer left into the campground, and follow the roads headed straight south until you find a short gravel road that leads to a gazebo.

Kitchitwaa Shkwaandem, roughly translated from its proper Anishinaabe name as Heaven's Gate, was acquired in 2021 through the incredible generosity of community donations. This project was made also possible by the Government of Canada through the Natural Heritage Conservation Program, part of Canada's Nature Fund, as well as funding from the Ontario Land Trust Alliance. The acquisition of Kitchitwaa Shkwaandem served to protect culturally and ecologically significant land from development, and bridge the gap between LaCloche Provincial Reserve and Killarney Provincial Park.
