Mansons Landing Trail Description
Hiking the Mansons Landing Loop is a great way to explore some of the different landscapes that can be found on Cortes Island. From the trailhead, hikers will head to the southeast through Mansons Landing Provincial Park and enjoy views that stretch out across the coastal terrain. From here, the trail will turn more to the east and head through a large stretch of scenic forest before arriving at the shores of Gunflint Lake. As you work your way along the western edge of the lake, take some time to appreciate the amazing views that sweep across its calm woodland shores. Reaching the southern tip of the lake, the trail will turn back to the west and cut through the dense forest once again, skirting along the edge of Hague Lake as it meanders towards the trailhead where you began your hike.
