Hiking
There are 2 main trails as well as a couple of side ‘adventure’ trails for the Cup and Saucer. The white and blue trails form a 9.9 km loop around the Cup and Saucer formation. The most direct route from the parking lot to the Manitoulin High Point is to take the more scenic white trail up the Cup and Saucer. Shortly past the steep climb up to the East Lookout, a side trail branches to the right and it is a short walk to a small concrete footing which is the highest point along the trail. The highest point on Manitoulin however, is 50 meters southwest off the trail at the coordinates: N45 51.000 W82 06.370. A large tree beside a pile of fallen trees / branches is the most likely location of the highest point. A moss covered boulder 20 feet northeast of the tree is another candidate for highest point.
