Casque Isles Trails
The Casque Isles Trail is a recreational hiking trail along the North Shore of Lake Superior. The Trail is classified as Difficult, but there are many sections that are considered as Moderate between the more technical sections.
The Casque Isles Trail is a signed and groomed recreational
hiking trail that offers scenic vistas to the visitors who wish to
share in Lake Superior’s majestic and rugged beauty in
Ontario, Canada. Beginning in Rossport, passing through
Schreiber and ending in Terrace Bay, the total length of the
Trail is 53 km. For those who do not wish to attempt the
entire trek, the Trail is divided into 5 Segments; each with it’s
own Access point from Hwy 17 and each presenting it’s own
unique wilderness experience. These Segments vary in length
and difficulty so that both the advanced and the beginner
hiker can enjoy the North Shore.
