Voyageur Hiking Trail, Wilderness hiking trail in Northern Ontario, Canada
Description
The Voyageur Hiking Trail is a hiking path that runs roughly 1,100 kilometers along the northern shores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior. The route passes through forests and rocky terrain, connecting multiple segments that form a network across the Cambrian Shield region.
History
The trail was established beginning in 1973 when Harold Brain gathered a group to create a hiking path across the Cambrian Shield region. The project emerged from efforts to make historical routes accessible to modern hikers.
Culture
The name honors fur traders who traveled the northern waters during early European exploration and shaped the routes people follow today.
Practical
Hikers can use digital maps and offline navigation through the Ondago app, which is available to members of the Voyageur Trail Association. App-based navigation helps with orientation in the remote forest areas along the route.
Did you know?
The trail connects several named segments including Penewobikong, Casque Isles, and Norwester that form a continuous network. These connected sections allow visitors to customize their hiking experience based on available time and ability.
