Directions to get there: Yes
Stokely is located in the Algoma Highlands, just north of the U.S. border in Goulais River, Canada. Near the shores of Lake Superior, Stokely consistently has great snow conditions and perfect terrain for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. 130 kilometers of trails traverse to the highest peaks of King Mountain and cross the valley and creeks below. Trails are groomed for skating and classic striding, with many more occasionally groomed but well-marked kilometers for those who want to enjoy free-heeling across country.
