The Nature Hike!

Embark on a breezy nature hike to the Rossport Islands Lookout, a scenic 850 m trail with a gentle 80 m climb. We can move at a leisurely pace for those in no rush. The view from the Lookout is spectacular, with views of Copper Island in the east out to St. Ignace Island and beyond to the west. It's the ideal spot to practice sketching the scenery or show off your photography skills.

Approx. 1.5 hrs. hike

" When the Group of Seven travelled through our area they created sketches that they took back and created their masterpieces. We can only hope that more artists will do the same in the future. "

ABOUT THE CASQUE ISLES TRAIL:

Is there anything more beautiful than the Rossport Islands and the clear, cool waters of Lake Superior on a warm summer day?

Imagine the sun glistening off the rippled waters; beautiful scenic island cliffs all around you; the anticipation of the strike of a fish and the tug on the rod… and then landing that beautiful fish to capture a lifelong memory?

You can make all this happen as part of your retreat workshops and activities at the Summer Arts Retreat.
