We camped at Hattie Cove before starting a three day backpacking trip on the Costal Trail. The Campsites are nicely spaced and it was very quiet night The views on the hiking trail’s are spectacular! There are many options for day hikes as well as multi-day trips We hiked to the White River suspension bridge and continued on to hook falls backcountry campsite. I would definitely recommend staying at this campsite. It had a beautiful view of hook falls

We, too, had heard about this lovely hike from locals. The various reviews helped us confidently find the road off the highway (about 7.5 km east of the Nipigon Birdge), and the parking spot 3.5 km down the gravel road. The path through the woods to the right is easy to travel, and at about 2.3 km some bright pink tape marks the path out to the lake. The views are beautiful, especially in the fall, where the contrast of the yellow birch, aspen and tamarack against the dramatic blue of the water is a painter's inspiration. The trail does continue, south along the cliff above the lake, and we found it to be well-marked at intervals with more pink tape on the odd tree. There are more spectacular views of Ruby Lake, and Lake Superior, as well as some vertiginous views back to the various cliff faces along Ruby Lake. If you carry on following the well-worn (and well-marked) trail, you will end up on a road that comes through the quarry, and back to the parking spot. The tape markings are not on the road, but it brings you directly north, through the old marble quarry. You shouldn't get lost. In total, with stops to admire the numerous views, the hike took us 2 hours. Enjoy!

Located on a rugged peninsula of thick forests, several lakes, and high granite cliffs, this scenic wonderland offers nature walks, camping and fishing activities.
Sleeping Giant is a beautiful park with great camping. The water front sites on the peninsula into Marie Louise Lake were stunning, and having your own steps down to the water and views of the giant. You could swim right from your campsite although the water was still cold in August. However, beware that the sites can be very windy which made it a challenge to set up a tent! During our stay we did the Sea Lion hike on one day which was an easy walk to a great view of the sea lion. The next day we did the Top of the Giant hike. This is a full day trip even if you bike, it took us 6-7 hours and we only stopped for a quick lunch at the top. Make sure you get an early start, we started at 9am and the trail wasn't busy, but as we came down from the giant the trail was getting very busy around the noon hour. If you choose to bike in make sure you have a mountain bike and are a confident cyclist as the trail is quite rocky and muddy in areas. The walking it self is very strenuous for just over a km, as it is a straight up climb. This hike is possible to accomplish in a slow and steady manner! Once reaching the top the views are spectacular, but be prepared to work hard to get there. I would definitely like to return to explore more of the park

Spectacular and dizzying are the words to describe the steep-sided canyons of this rugged and scenic region.
Very short and easy hike to 2 breathtaking overlooks over the canyon. Really worth it. Plus a little pond at the bottom of the hill where we saw a beaver.

Hiking, camping, fishing and boating are just a few of the outdoor activities available at this scenic park.
I wish this Park was closer! Staff very friendly during our entire stay. Camped in Whitesand site # 64. so much to do and see here! We rode our bikes all over the campgrounds and people driving were mindful of their speed. Park badges available! Spent over 2 hours kayaking Whitesand Lake....so beautiful and calm. We enjoyed several hikes... Back 40 up to the Lookout is a MUST. Some spots more difficult then others as it is an uphill trail. Rainbow Falls is very pretty for photo taking and the hike includes many steps! We took a right out of the gate onto 17 and found a side road that runs along Superior. Stopped at a beach and walked. Beautiful area.

This is actually a great place to watch waves of Lake Superior, especially during a stormy day. There is also a trail heading to Prisoner's Cove, where prisoners of war did their logging operations. Their actual fishing boats are still on display.

The falls were amazing you could walk on either side and the boardwalk was nice and wide so it would be a great one for everyone and easy access.We went early so it was nice to have the views pretty much to ourselves to enjoy.
