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 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.

It also provides access to some of the most breathtaking 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.

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 looking to go on a mountain biking adventure.

With gorgeous views and adventures in every corner, who wouldn’t want to explore Sleeping Giant Provincial Park this season?
