Sea Lion

Sea Lion

On the shore of Lake Superior, at Perry Bay, on route to the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park you’ll find a stone Sea Lion. The 15 metres of sedimentary rock that juts out of the mainland has been shaped by the waves of the Lake Superior to offer the region an attraction like no other. This site is a must-see while hiking Tee Harbour or camping at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park.

Sea Lion Trail

Sea Lion Trail Sleeping Giant Provincial Park

The round-trip hike from the South Kabeyun Trailhead parking lot, to the end of the Sea Lion Trail, and back is 2.4km and takes roughly an hour to complete. This trail has somewhat difficult access over an outcrop, passes a pebble beach on Perry Bay, and concludes at a diabase rock arch on Lake Superior. Interpretive panels are a must-read for anyone interested in the fascinating geology of this unique formation.
