Because it was so early in the season, we got to see all kinds of wildlife - most exciting - two big wolves. the snow was still on the ground so there was a peacefulness - no traffic - quiet and serene.

I have been coming to Sibley since 1970 my husband even earlier. Every year from 1974 we have come to Sibley (Sleeping Giant Provincial Park) for family camping. Use to be no electricty, no showers, an outdoor interpretive center. Only outhouses and garbage at each corner, Wow, things have changed. 2 shower houses with laundry and flush toliets. Swim in...

My son and I have been often and we go back again and again. We've camped; gone for hikes, swam and just in general sought out the place for solace and to make some memories...we were painted one day playing zip ball...the painting was placed on my dashboard and has been a treasure ever since. Loved that, love the place... More

Well-maintained (but busy) park. Great hiking v close by. Very crowded on long weekends - book way ahead. Much quieter/more serene during the week. Beach is great, water warm enough for swimming comfortably, lots of park programming for amusement on rainy days, especially.

As children, we spent time every summer at Sibley Park, as it was called before, It's as beautiful as we remembered it! The Sea Lion, Silver Islet, the incredible Lake Superior and the Sleeping Giant himself. Unspoiled nature in all it's beauty.

The Boreal forest and Lake Superior. How can you go wrong? Great selection of trails from easy afternoon strolls to challenging multi-day back-country trails where you will likely encounter or hear wolves, bears, deer and if you're lucky a moose. Terrific bike trails, too, and in the winter the cross-country ski trail system is second to none. A nature photographer's... More

Used to camp here every year till we moved. Now we are happily back and looking forward to coming back in the summer. Did the trail walks and beach and it is amazingly beautiful. Stop and visit Silver Islet.

It's been quite some time since I've been out there, but I was very disappointed to find that we needed to pay $12.50 for our vehicle just for park fees when we were only driving up there and visiting Lake Marie Louis. More services should be offered and better upkeep.

Everyone's oppinion of the park is different, so go ahead and try the hiking trails! I liked it, (hope that doesn't influence what you think about it) as the scenery is absolutely beautiful. If you're going in the summer, make sure to put on a good bug repellent as well as pack extra. In the winter, you might want to... More
