Canoe routes range from easy to challenging, and often involve stretches of white water. Pick up a brochure in the park visitor centre to guide your choice of canoe route. Canoeing and kayaking on the open water of Lake Superior is recommended only for those with enough experience to recognize and handle the rapidly changing conditions. Hiking trails range from short, scenic nature trails, to rugged overnight trails covering 55 kilometres or more. Autumn is the ideal time for hiking, to enjoy the spectacular fall colour and the absence of insects.
Trail brochures are available in the visitor centre or the park office.
In Lake Superior, and in coastal streams and rivers, there are good populations of lake and rainbow trout, whitefish and three species of salmon. The inland waters, where fishing with live-bait fish is banned, offer good opportunities for catching lake and brook trout. There are no park facilities or services in the winter. However, visitors may cross-country ski, snowshoe or icefish in the park at their own risk. Accessible via Highway 17, on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, south of Wawa and north of Sault Ste.
