There are many places to hike in and around Meldrum Bay. One of the shorter trails runs behind McDonald Ave. (where the cottage is located) through the woods and exits at the Meldrum Bay Community Centre.

You can also hike at the Mississagi Lighthouse (described under Local Attractions). You can walk along the waterfront on the limestone that goes right to the water's edge.

The Sheshegwaning First Nation developed a 20 km trail which can be enjoyed in several sections, some offering beautiful views of the North Channel. There are facilities for camping and picnicking. Maps are available at the Band office or the Gas/Convenience store at the beginning of the trail. (see Sheshegwaning and Zhiibaahaasing described under Local Attractions).
