A new 5-mile-long coastal trail along Lake Huron has opened in the town of Thessalon, Ontario.
The Thessalon Coastal Trail is a wilderness trail with several loops to hike, offering a great spot to watch migrating waterfowl and herons fishing.
Best of all, the crushed gravel trail is accessible to all.
During the trail opening event in April, Deputy Mayor and Trails Team Lead Jordan Bird spoke about his vision for the trail: “In 2020, during the pandemic, my family had to travel north of Sault Ste. Marie or several hours’ drive to Manitoulin to partake in coastal hiking. I started poking around in our own community and came across this hidden gem. Fast forward after two years of grant applications and many meetings and hours of trail creation, we can now hike in our own backyard.”
