Lake Superior Provincial Park

First Lookout - 45 min return

Difficulty: demanding

Climb the Awausee for a bird's-eye view of Lake Superior!  This demanding trail starts at the base of Agawa Mountain and follows an old logging road before veering uphill along a ravine. The first lookout is found part way up the ravine and offers a view of the lower Agawa River Valley and Agawa Mountain.

Continue upwards along the trail and climb through maple forests to a series of lookouts.  Find yourself standing 200 metres (650 feet) above the Agawa Valley. This was a glacial spillway with a much larger river than today. Upstream beyond view, the Agawa River Valley narrows to form the Agawa Canyon (accessible only by the Algoma Central Railway).

Climb downwards and join up with the old logging road, which takes you back to the trail's beginning.
