This trail is also known as the Lyda Bay Segment of the Casque Isles Hiking Trail. This section of the trail follows the gorge to Terrace Bay Beach. This can be pretty tricky going in the winter and it might be a good idea to bring two vehicles and park one down at the beach.
The Aguasabon Gorge Trail is located one km west of the Tourist Information Center in Terrace Bay. From Highway 17, follow the signs to a parking lot at the falls. The Casque Isles Trail begins here at the Aguasabon Falls parking lot and follows the shoreline until it reaches Rossport, the total length being 52 km. Also from the parking lot there is a boardwalk out to a viewing platform overlooking the gorge and the 100 foot falls that are flowing into the gorge from the left.
Finished this section of the Casque Isle trail this September making it 4 out of 5 segements completed. Loved this section the most. Great trail. Multiple bays with either sand, pebble or rock beaches. Varied terrain with a few steep inclines. Unique terraces deep in the forest. Loved this hike. Took about 5 hours with all the stops to take in the scenery – not to be missed.
