Lake Superior Coastal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail follows the coast of Lake Superior for 65 kilometres, traversing rocky cliffs and boulders, offering incredible views, and beachside campsite for thru-hikers. The full route typically takes hikers 4 to 6 days to complete and it's best tackled by experienced backcountry hikers due to the difficult terrain and quickly changing conditions faced on the trail.

Agawa Rock Pictographs

Highlight • Historical Site

The Agawa Rock Pictographs are a collection of 35 red-ochre paintings on the face of Lake Superior's towering granite cliffs. In Ojibwe, the area is known as Mazinaubikinguning, meaning "the adorned rock of Lake Agawa".

Although the glyphs are only a short distance from the parking area this is not a hike one should attempt during inclement weather since you need to negotiate a narrow rock shelf right at the water level in order to access the site.
