Chikanishing Trail
A roughly 3 km loop along the pink granite coast of Georgian Bay, with wind-carved rocks, lone pines and islands that resemble scenes painted by the Group of Seven.
The Chikanishing Trail starts from the Chikanishing Inlet parking lot. The loop is about 3 km and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. The trail crosses woodland to reach the Georgian Bay shore, where you walk across pink granite slabs polished by glaciers. You can see white pines leaning in the wind, small islands and open water, which look very much like the scenes painted by the Group of Seven. Sunsets here are especially beautiful. Some sections require scrambling over rock, so follow the markers carefully. The parking lot is also the launch point for sea kayaking around Philip Edward Island, and in summer, when winds and waves are strong, take care before going into the water. A park day pass is required.
