Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, a few miles off Highway 11/17, includes camp sites, easy and difficult hiking trails, and a four-mile drive to one of the most dramatic over-looks in Ontario!

The lookout, positioned on the mesa that is Sleeping Giant, which is at least 1,200 feet high, overhangs the cliff face and has a slatted floor. Views are absolutely spectacular if you can bring yourself to walk to the end of the platform.

The small summer community of Silver Islet, with its historic 1871 country store is located at the end of the drive to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. At the beginning of the twentieth century, one of the richest silver mines in North America was located on a small island just offshore, hence the village’s name.

There’s one little thing you should know about Sleeping Giant. When you visit the park, you are actually on the gigantic rock formation known as the Sleeping Giant so you can’t see it. The best views of Sleeping Giant’s an be had from lookouts and parks in the city of Thunder Bay.
