Fairy Lake is accessed by its namesake 2.5 km trail. This must-hike loop trail traverses a variety of habitats including small wetlands, forests and rock barrens. Colourful signage shares the story of Miinkekwe (Blueberry Picking Woman) and her fateful encounter with the dreadful Migcheshibzhii.
Fairy Lake is located on an island, and can only be reached by boat. For information on the Parks Canada DayTripper boat shuttle service, or private water taxi options, please visit their website.
