    This is one of my favourite hiking trails in Canada. I'm not a hardcore hiker, but enjoy a scenic…read moreeasy-to-moderate walk, and the Cup and Saucer trail provides that. There are 3 paths: the red one (5km; undulating; has easy paths and trickier portions where you have to navigate rocks and be on the keen lookout for the markers so you won't get lost), the adventure path (offroad; apparently hardcore), and the blue (10km; mostly flat but still gets you to the main lookouts). My wife and I chose the red path, which took around 2 hours to navigate. The trek itself was interesting (there were points where you had to use makeshift ladders and navigate huge boulders). But the highlight was easily the Eastpoint lookouts. In a word: amazing. You stand out on the cliffs, wind whipping you about, and look out and see the forests and lakes. If you come at the right time, it's like you own the whole mountain. A few tips: - Go during autumn. The hike is pretty but made doubly so when everything is on fire. - Make sure to inspect the different openings along the top. What looks like nothing turns into a spectacular view if you just brush aside a few branches/bushes. - Go earlier in the day or later in the afternoon. We went at around 10am and there was enough parking and only a few people on the trail. By the time we were heading back at around noon, there were sooooo many people. We heard 11-1 is the peak period. - Wear sturdy shoes. I don't have hiking boots but do have trail shoes and that helped. I think sneakers are doable (I went during a sunny day so the trail wasn't muddy) but definitely advise against sandals or shoes you don't want to get scuffed up. - If you're on the island, go! It's beautiful.

    It's really nice and the hike is really nice but I don't like that you can't ride quads or…read moresnowmobiles on it that the only bad part about the cup & saucer trail so I do recommend it

    Had a great stay. Sites were big and clean and very well spaced apart. Didn't see the neighbors if…read moreyou didn't want to.

    Only $30CAN per night! Rolled up on a beautiful Thursday at 9pm, just trying to get a bite and…read moresome smoked salmon/trout for breakfast the next morning, but the place was so nice, we rested our bones there instead of the other campsite we had planned to stay at. For $30 we got a spot 10' off the lake! Tons of room. Enough space for 3 tents. Had a table and fire pit built in. People seemed cool. Only there one night, and something bear-ish definitely crept past our tent and went for a midnight swim (loudly). The fishing was STRAIGHT. Caught a walleye after only 4 casts. Shoulda' ate it... The skeeters are why I have to withhold a star. Those Canadian mosquitoes are easily the most aggressive insects I've ever encountered. They didn't always bite you or leave you itching, but when they swarm, mahfucka's will LAND ON YOUR EYEBALL. No joke. I definitely huffed a few while smoking a jack too... The food at the front of the campsite (we got fish and chips) was only OK. The poutine style fries (covered in gravy and shredded cheese) were only OK too. The general store sold fishing/camping gear as well as limited groceries and such. Well, they also sold the best smoked salmon I've ever had. I bought rainbow trout, coho salmon, and atlantic salmon. The atlantic salmon, probably caught nearby and dated only 3 days prior, was drip down your forearm oily (which is a good thing when dealing with an oily fish-and besides, fish oil is about the healthiest thing in the world outside of blueberries). The coho and trout were tasty but nearly as good.
