Guided Trip Info: Naturally Superior Adventures Spirit of Lake Superior Park

Route Description: Sea kayak Lake Superior Provincial Park's magical Cape Gargantua area. Launching from Gargantua Bay, visit the wreak of the Columbus in Gargantua Harbour, a once busy fishing village. Rounding Gargantua Point, the cliffs of Devil's Warehouse Island loom above open water. From here, it's a short 2 km paddle to the sandy campsites at Warp Bay.

Warp Bay makes an excellent base camp. Follow the Tugboat Channel to Nanabush Rock (Devil's Chair) and cautiously round Cape Gargantua. Sheltered Indian Harbour has one nice campsite at the eastern edge of Cape Gargantua.

Lots of good landings make this trip accessible to novice/intermediate paddlers, however caution must be exercised rounding Gargantua Point and the northern tip of Cape Gargantua. There are no landings in these areas and shoals and sheer cliffs make for treacherous paddling in wind and waves. Hiking the Coastal Trail is a pleasant diversion if the lake is rough.
