Close to the U.S. border, a drive away from Thunder Bay, you’ll find Sleeping Giant Provincial Park.

For hikers and nature enthusiasts, this park is a true gem, boasting over 25 interconnected hiking trails.

According to Ontario Parks, there are over 25 trails to explore that span over 100 km, and they’re intended for all fitness levels.

These paths wind along the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior, showcasing magnificent geological features like the awe-inspiring “Sea Lion” and Tee Harbour.

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

Tallest cliffs around

Here you’ll find the greatest uninterrupted vertical drop in the province, according to Ontario Parks.

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

Talus Lake Trail 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.

“A portion of the trail travels over a boulder field, and another section crosses a beaver dam. Proper trip planning and navigational skills are necessary to complete this challenging trail,” they share.

Come prepared for a tough but unforgettable journey.

There are also well-designed park trails for those seeking a mountain biking adventure.
