Canada Hiking: Hiking In Canada Provides Great Fishing, Hiking, Kayaking & More
Canada hiking appeals to outdoors-types from all over the world and the reasons aren't hard to understand ... a quarter of a million lakes are the first reason. That’s nearly one lake for every fifty people who inhabit its vast expanse. And they are fed by its hundreds of rivers tumbling through deep chasms and cascading in torrential waterfalls over glacier-scarred granite cliffs.
The northern walleye, lake trout, and pike in those lakes will give game fishermen all they can handle, and whitewater enthusiasts can follow the same river routes used by fur trappers when the Hudson Bay Company was young. Ontario is a place where the “True North” lives up to its name.
And a Canada hiking trip to Ontario would be incomplete if it did not include a trek along the North Shore of Lake Superior, which is bounded by six hundred miles of sub-arctic evergreen forests.
You can begin your Canada hiking trip to northwest Ontario by heading for Thunder Bay. Travel there via Canadian Highway 11/17, and follow the Lake Superior Circle tour to the Canada hiking trailhead.
The Circle Tour will route you along the coast of Lake Superior, and you will have ample opportunities to photograph its scenic waters, and the surrounding stands of maple, pine, birch, and spruce, before you set out on your Canada hiking adventure.
Canada hiking trails are easily accessible from the main highways, so you are given unlimited options when it comes to the distance and duration of your Canada hiking trips. There are parks throughout northwestern Ontario which can provide you with all the best attractions of the Canadian wilderness, and a Canada hiking trip which takes you to more than one will give you a taste of all it has to offer.
A great way to initiate yourself into Canada hiking is by visiting all of Ontario’s three provincial parks Sleeping Giant, Ouimet Canyon, and Rainbow Falls. These three parks will provide you with the most spectacular inland and shoreline attractions of both Thunder Bay and Lake Superior.
The Sleeping Giant Provincial Park received its somewhat whimsical name from a series of sedimentary rock mesas which, over eons, were covered with layers of igneous rock which have come to resemble a sprawling giant at rest.
Sleeping Giant Provincial Park offers Canada hiking for hikers of every level of experience, from the gentle in clines of its eastern lowlands to the cliff trails which will take you to the top of the Giant himself. If you are up to it, the climb will reward you with unparalleled views of Lake Superior.
If you tackle the park’s woodland Canada hiking trails, expect to see deer, moose, and other wildlife looking back at you. They are the successors of the huge caribou herds which once roamed the area’s forest.
When the logging industry began harvesting the northwest Ontario forests in the early 1900s, the caribou were driven out. But they have been replaced not only with deer and moose, but with black bears, timber wolves, and lynx; and red fox and porcupines are commonly seen by those who enjoy Canada hiking trips to the park.
And birdwatchers will be treated to glimpses of some of the Park’s one hundred and ninety species of birds at the Thunder Cape Bird Observatory at the tip of the Sibley Peninsula.
Whether you like to fish, whitewater, climb, or just take strolls down lush woodland trails in the hope of seeing a forest animal, a Canada hiking trip to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park will not leave you disappointed!
