Waves roll across immense Lake Superior and crash against a remote granite shore. Tracts of windswept spruce and pine reach beyond the horizon from towering cliffs and along secluded sandy beaches. Black bears feast on blueberry bushes; haunting loon song scores sunsets; moose stilt-walk across wetlands. And the culture of the Anishinaabe First Nations connects Pukaskwa National Park’s wilderness to the powerful richness of an ancient human story.

It is bear country so just ask the wardens for tips, but we saw no signs of bears. It would be really rare to meet a bear on a trail. They will smell you coming long and leave before you'd even be aware they're in the area.

Like any park, you always have to have some situational awareness and know what to do if you encounter a bear. I've spent days on the Puk trails and have never actually seen a bear while hiking. Further, a black bear attack is super rare.They don't want contact with people. Be smart with your food. Store it properly. You'll have no issues. It's totally normal to be nervous about it but don't let it spoil and wonderful experience. I hope that helps.
Hi! Does anyone know if this park allows dogs to tag along for hiking?? Will be on a road trip with my pup..... Thanks!

Hi there. You can take your dog but it must be leashed and you have to scoop the poop. Honestly, I have taken my dog on the trails off leash. She is very well behaved and friendly. They don't patrol the hiking trails. Nuff said.
