Gros Cap Bluffs

Gros Cap offers outstanding vistas from the shoreline of Lake Superior. For those willing to make the trek to the rock bluffs, using the Voyageur hiking trail, the visitor will be able to take in a 270 degree vista at a height of 60 to 90 metres (197 to 295 feet) above Lake Superior. Detailed maps for the Gros Cap tour are available from Algoma's Water Tower Inn reception.

Road Biking

Cyclists can ride to the Gros Cap area directly using Highway 550 (Second Line) or by using a combination of Highway 17, Fourth Line, Allen Side Road and Third Line to Second Line then on to Gros Cap. On the return cyclists can extend the trip by cycling out to the Pointe des Chenes area before returning.

Motor Touring

A drive to the Gros Cap area is always a pleasant trip because of the scenery. During the fall colour period this is a particularly scenic drive that local residents enjoy taking.
