The Sea Lion
Roundtrip: 2 km

The Sea Lion is a classic spot to bring tourists. The Sea Lion itself is a rock formation that juts out 15 metres into Lake Superior at Perry Bay just northwest of Silver Islet. The wave action of Lake Superior has cut a small tunnel in the formation. The Sea Lion Trail is often hiked as a side-trip on the way to Tee Harbour.
From Thunder Bay, travel East on Hwy 11/17 . At the Pass Lake truck stop turn right onto Highway 587 and follow it for about 36 km past the Lake Mary Louise campground entrance to the Kabeyun Trail parking area on the right hand side just before Silver Islet. The the trail begins in the parking lot area.
Follow the signed trail for about 700m to the trailhead for the Sea Lion Trail. There are some small steep sections along this part of the trail. The viewing area has several informative signs on the formation of the Sea Lion.
