Nipigon Hiking Trail
The first part of the trail is gravelled and flat which makes for
easy walking. Those who take this walk along the river have several
options to chose from. A short 20 minute walk from the Nipigon Marina
via Clearwater Creek back to the Marina, to a more lengthy stroll to
Sawmill Point on the Nipigon Bay which takes approximately 45 minutes.
For those who are more adventurous, the trail continues along the bay past Sawmill Point to the new 70 foot walking bridge across Stillwater Creek. Upstream from the bridge, beaver dams and the occasional beaver at work can be seen. Those that reach the Stillwater Bridge may return via an alternate route through the bush, retrace their steps along the Nipigon River, or continue on to Red Rock.
The next portion of the trail is not for leisurely strollers. The trail past the Stillwater Creek becomes a hiking trail of medium difficulty. The trail from Stillwater Creek to Red Rock takes approximately two hours to walk.
Spectacular views can be enjoyed from the lookouts over Lake
Superior at the Eagle's Nest Lookout closer to Nipigon, and two other
Lookouts near Red Rock. It is nature at its best!
