Cup And Saucer Nature Reserve

This is a one of best hikes I did and we really enjoyed it. This is a medium level difficulty trail. There are two trails, mark in red and blue. Red one is shorter one with 4 km and blue one is another 5 km. Most will do 4 km and you will see a few looks out points. Views are breath taking. There are two parking lots and parking is free but encourage to pay what you can and contribution will go to protection of nature reserve. Some areas are easy but some areas are rough, steep and need to climb stairs etc etc. Trail is marked clearly and it is very helpful. This offers scenic views and excellent photo opportunities if you are a nature photographer. Must try adventure if you are visiting to Manitoulin Island.

This is the best trail in Ontario that I have done so far! BREATHTAKING scenery as you can see nearly the whole Island from the lookout. If you are brave enough to go near the cliffs, you can take incredible pictures of yourself and others. I did the regular trail, the adventure trail, and the long trail that loops around and it took me 3-4 hours. There are cool ladders and caves that you pass by as you’re walking which is really cool! I definitely recommend anyone in Ontario to try this trail at least once.

There is ample space for parking and they have also placed 2-2 dustbins and 2-2 standard portable restrooms at both the parking lots. It was very easy to find this. From the Ferry this parking lot is about 35 mins drive and the route in between is very scenic and beautiful. The route would surely look magical in the fall season. Don't miss the Cup and Saucer Trail if you find yourself on Manitoulin Island.
