Coastal Trail
The trail traces the Lake Superior coastline along scenic cliffs, across cobblestone beaches and through bush. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, especially along the Sand and Agawa rivers.
Several access points give you a choice of spending one or several days on the trail. From Lake Superior’s rugged coast, this park moves inland over mist-shrouded hills and deep canyons whose breathtaking beauty and rich autumn colours inspired Canada’s Group of Seven artists.
The Coastal Trail and part of Highway 17 hug Lake Superior’s rugged, rocky coast through this park, offering spectacular, unimpeded views of the legendary moody blue waters. Along the park’s eastern border the Algoma Central Railway snakes through Agawa Canyon, thrilling sightseers and dropping off hiking and canoeing adventurers along the way. Don’t miss the pictographs at Agawa Rock, and the park’s new Visitor Centre.
