Katherine Cove

Highlight • Beach

Katherine Cove is a beautiful coastal stop in Lake Superior Provincial Park, with a short path that leads from the forest to open views of Superior’s bright turquoise shallows and wave-smoothed granite. The shoreline is a mix of sand, rock slabs, and small inlets, giving you easy access to classic Superior scenery without a long approach. It’s also a common starting point for short walks along the coast toward spots like Bathtub Island, where you get sweeping lake views and dramatic shoreline rock formations. A simple, scenic stop on this stretch of the park’s coastline.

Lake Superior Coastal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Lake Superior Coastal Trail is rugged but stunning, following rocky beaches, forest paths, and wide granite slabs right beside the water. Expect scrambles over smooth rock, driftwood coves, and long stretches at lake level with big horizons and shifting Superior colours from deep blue to turquoise. Even a short section gives you some of the park’s most dramatic shoreline scenery.

Bathtub Island

Highlight • Natural Monument

Bathtub Island is a fun little spot in Lake Superior Provincial Park, reached by a short walk from Katherine Cove and a quick wade through shallow sandy water. The rock forms a natural “bathtub” that fills with warm lake water when the waves roll in, perfect for a dip on a sunny day. It’s best from May to October, and especially in summer when the water feels warmer. Try to go at low water levels so you can cross easily and spend more time on the island. You’ll need a day-use permit (about CAD $15.50) to park at Katherine Cove.
