Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
Located on the Sibley Peninsula near Thunder Bay, the park’s southern tip features the legendary “Sleeping Giant”. Follow the new “Top of the Giant Trail” to spectacular cliff-top views of Lake Superior. Venture deep into its boreal forests on some of the 80 km of trails to experience backcountry colours. Explore trails along Superior’s rocky coast to discover pockets of Arctic plant life.

In addition to hiking among the fall colours, you can also experience an abundance of wildlife viewing opportunities. Try backcountry camping to truly experience the wilds of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park.

Fall colours can be seen throughout September, with the best viewing from mid-September to early October. The Visitor’s Centre located in the Marie Louise Campground is open weekends until Thanksgiving.
