Hiking Trails

Rossport hiking trails offer diverse opportunities to explore the rugged beauty of Ontario’s Lake Superior coastline. Two standout trails are the McLean’s Segment of the Casque Isles Trail and the Rossport Coastal Trail.

The McLean’s Segment is a 13.5 km (8.3 mi) stretch of the 53 km (33 mi) Casque Isles Trail. It is known for its ancient raised sand and boulder beaches from the post-glacial period and several scenic lookouts with views of the Rossport Islands Archipelago. The trail also passes through Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, where hikers can access wooden walkways and stairs to view Rainbow Falls as it cascades through chutes and pools.

The Rossport Coastal Trail is a shorter hike along the Lake Superior shoreline. It offers beautiful views of the lake, nearby islands, and the area’s unique geology. This trail is ideal for a quick, rewarding outdoor experience and is suitable for all skill levels.

Hikers are encouraged to follow Leave No Trace principles to protect the environment, ensuring the trails remain clean and undisturbed for future visitors. Rossport’s hiking opportunities provide an ideal way to connect with nature along the shores of the world’s largest freshwater lake.
