Nipigon River Recreational & Hiking Trail

 

This 8.2 km hiking trail, which connects the Nipigon and Red Rock marinas, takes between 2 ½ to 3 hours to complete.

The trail from Nipigon hugs the shoreline of the Nipigon River as far as Sawmill Point. This part of the trail is easy walking and affords the hiker a chance to view the wildlife on the river, including bald eagles, blue herons, peregrine falcon, pelicans, and a variety of waterfowl. Moose, deer, otter and beaver may also be seen along the trail in the summer, and in the winter wolves and fox are sometimes observed on the frozen river.

At one point the trail crosses a causeway where there is a viewing deck giving the hiker views up and down the river. Interpretive signage has been provided along the trail.

From Sawmill Point one can view the beginnings of Nipigon Bay in Lake Superior, and the town of Red Rock. The trail then continues on to Red Rock across some rugged terrain involving some fairly steep climbs in and out of ravines. It is rated as a moderate hike.

This part of the trail includes three lookouts over Nipigon Bay, the most spectacular of which is Eagle's Ridge. Take time to enjoy the breathtaking, panoramic views of Nipigon Bay and its islands. Stairs have been installed at Eagle's Ridge to ease the climb up and down the Nipigon side.

If one is considering hiking the whole trail, it is easier to complete the hike starting at the Red Rock end. Hikers need to arrange for a ride back to their starting point if they are only hiking one way. They may also wish to take water and a light lunch. A toilet is available below Eagle's ridge on the Nipigon side.

A pamphlet containing a map and scenes from the trail are available at the Nipigon Marina, the Nipigon Tourist Information Building and various businesses in Nipigon.
