Trails

But for the real vistas, embark on a journey along the Top of the Giant Trail, where you’ll find spectacular scenic views atop the tallest cliffs in Ontario.

Here you’ll find the greatest uninterrupted vertical drop in the province, according to Ontario Parks. This view is considered one of the most breathtaking lookouts in central Canada.

It also provides access to some of the most beautiful lookout points in central Canada. The trail stretches 21.8 km round trip from the South Kabeyun Trailhead parking lot and usually takes 6-10 hours to complete.

Another trail to explore is the Talus Lake Trail. It is another long adventure that travels between the Sleeping Giant and Thunder Mountain, connecting the Kabeyun Trail with the Sawyer Bay Trail.

According to Ontario Parks, this trail passes by three secluded lakes, a sedge meadow, jaw-dropping cliffs, talus slopes, and two cascading creeks.

Come prepared for a tough but unforgettable journey.
