Ila's Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail, named after local hiker Ila Aho, is a picturesque five-kilometre loop that climbs through beautiful boreal forest to the 150-metre Robertson Cliffs, overlooking the Goulais River Valley, with several side trails leading to waterfalls and quiet lookouts along the way. It’s a very scenic and rewarding hike, especially in autumn when the hardwood canopy explodes with colour.

Algoma Highlands

Highlight • Forest

The Algoma Highlands cover more than 3,500 hectares of forest, cliffs, and waterways in Northern Ontario. Its rugged terrain includes old-growth hardwoods, beautiful cascading waterfalls, and picturesque escarpments, including Robertson Cliffs, which provide habitat for wildlife and offer year-round access for hikers, skiers, and nature lovers.

Robertson Cliffs

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Robertson Cliffs rise high above the Goulais River Valley, offering one of the most dramatic viewpoints in the Algoma Highlands. The exposed rock face stretches along the ridge in this section, with multiple lookouts, all with fantastic views of the forested hills, winding rivers, and lakes. In autumn, the cliffs become a front-row seat to a vibrant canopy of red and gold, making this an excellent place to pause and capture some memorable photos.
