Description

The Mdaabii Miikna Loop is located in beautiful Pukaskwa National Park. Mdaabii Miikna stands for “go to the shore trail” in Ojibwe. This route consists of the Mdaabii Miikna Trail and also a small section of the Pukaskwa Coastal Trail to form a loop. It is a little over a 3 mile hike from Hattie Cove to get to the start of this loop. Great opportunity for a warm up and cool down. This route is great for people who want to experience Pukaskwa National Park but don’t have the time to complete the entire Coastal Trail which you would need to do as an out and back or arrange an expensive water shuttle. The loop starts in the serene boreal forest inland at the sign and takes you to the coast of amazing Lake Superior. You will go by Playter Harbour and Picture Rock Harbour before you head back inland to connect the loop. The terrain is considered difficult.
