Middlebrun Bay
Trail

The Middlebrun Bay Trail leads hikers through the forest to a secluded sandy beach overlooking Lake Superior. The trailhead is just 2.3 km (1.4 mi) from the start, making it a manageable round-trip of 4.6 km (2.8 mi). The trail is characterized by rocks and roots, so hiking boots are recommended. Along the way, you’ll enjoy glimpses of the forest, and the final reward awaits at Middlebrun Bay—a serene sandy beach where you can unwind and take in the stunning lake views. For those seeking more adventure, the trail extends further to Finlay Bay where there is a backcountry campsite. Leashed dogs are welcome on this picturesque trail.

Sleeping Giant Provincial Park features over 100 km (62 mi) of well-maintained trails, ranging from easy, family-friendly walks to challenging routes for experienced adventurers.

Wildlife is abundant, with opportunities to spot deer, foxes, birds, and even the occasional moose. Many trails lead to panoramic viewpoints, providing breathtaking vistas of Lake Superior and the surrounding wilderness.
