Schreiber Beach & hiking trail (4)

Schreiber Beach

The gorgeous Schreiber Beach is located beneath the town and under a towering cliff of the Canadian Shield. Its shore is coloured in pebbles of many shapes and sizes, and the waves of Lake Superior lap onto them in crashes, showcasing the shore’s beauty. Dipping your toes in or daring for a touch of this famously cold water will make you agree with what people say: it really is cool! With a squeal of surprise, the waters are refreshing indeed, and after the initial shock, you’ll be able to tell you’ve felt the frigid touch of this Great Lake!

Schreiber Beach is also home to many hiking trails as it is on the route of the Casque Isle Trail. Of course, you do not have to do the entirety of the famed trail, but there are little ones you may do as you stay and explore Schreiber. One is called the Red Chair Trail, the shortest and relatively easiest trail to get you exploring. Once you get to the chairs, you will discover you are standing on the incredibly unique rock formations that make up a big part of the Lake Superior shoreline. They stagger out in mounds and come in different colours. The ones at Schreiber Beach are shades of grey, smooth to the touch, and jagged. Feel free to explore these wonders of nature in all their glory. When it comes to having delicious meals, there is a restaurant in the town entrance and even a famed food truck. Each location has mouth-watering meals for you to enjoy, and if you want to create an even more charming memory, you can pack them up and take them down to Schreiber Beach for a picnic with a view!
