Lake Superior Provincial Park

Highlight • Natural

Lake Superior Provincial Park stretches along a wild section of Superior’s coastline, mixing rugged granite headlands, quiet beaches, and dense northern forest. The trail network ranges from easy lakeside walks to tougher routes with rocky scrambles and big lake views. Expect clear water, dramatic shorelines, and long horizons that make even short stops feel special. It’s a standout area for anyone exploring this part of Ontario, with plenty of spots to pause, wander, and take in the scale of Lake Superior.

Lake Superior Coastal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Lake Superior Coastal Trail is a rugged but incredibly rewarding shoreline route that follows rocky beaches, forested sections, and huge granite slabs right beside the lake. Expect plenty of scrambling over smooth rock, driftwood-lined coves, and long stretches where the trail runs almost at water level. The views are the star here—big open horizons, rolling waves, and those classic Superior colours that shift from deep blue to turquoise on calm days. Whether you’re tackling a short section or adding a few kilometres to a nearby hike, this trail gives you some of the most dramatic lakeside scenery in the park.

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.
