Description

From Parks Canada:

Get ready to experience the wildest hike on the wildest shore of all of the Great Lakes. Pukaskwa National Park’s 60 km Coastal Hiking Trail is an adventurer’s dream that offers a challenging but rewarding premiere Ontario wilderness experience. The trail climbs steep Lake Superior coastline, meanders through sandy and cobble stone beaches, and treks through rugged boreal forests.

The coastal trail requires a water shuttle that leaves from Hattie Cove (the end point ) and drops hikers/ runners at the starting point of North Swallow River. The trail is remote with no road access, and unmarked. There is rock cairns to guide runners.
