Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is a Lake Superior park on the Sibley Peninsula, known for high viewpoints, long trail networks, boreal forest, wildlife, cabins, camping, and winter skiing. Ontario Parks lists the park at 24,400 hectares, established in 1944, and classifies it as a natural environment park.
The park is one of Northwestern Ontario's strongest hiking destinations. Visitors come for big views of Lake Superior and the surrounding area from routes such as the Top of the Giant Trail and Thunder Bay Lookout.
Sleeping Giant is a good fit for travellers who want a major trail park with frontcountry services and backcountry options. Ontario Parks highlights more than 100 km of hiking trails, geological features such as the Sea Lion and Tee Harbour, wildlife including deer, wolf, fox, lynx, and more than 200 bird species, and full-service cabins available year-round.
The park also has winter depth. Ontario Parks lists some of the best cross-country skiing in Ontario, with 50 km of groomed skate and classic trails.
