From Lake Superior’s rugged coast, this park moves inland over mist-shrouded hills and deep canyons whose breathtaking beauty and rich autumn colours inspired Canada’s Group of Seven artists. The Coastal Trail and part of Highway 17 hug Lake Superior’s rugged, rocky coast through this park, offering spectacular, unimpeded views of the legendary moody blue waters. Along the park’s eastern border the Algoma Central Railway snakes through Agawa Canyon, thrilling sightseers and dropping off hiking and canoeing adventurers along the way. Don’t miss the pictographs at Agawa Rock, and the park’s new Visitor Centre.
NOTE: Batchewana First Nation will be conducting ceremonies at Gargantua Harbour from August 26 through to August 29. Gargantua Road and Gargantua Harbour may be difficult to access on these dates. Ontario Parks is asking that the public have respect for this ceremony. Campsites in and around Gargantua Harbour will be closed to camping for the period August 25 to August 30. If possible, please make plans to visit other areas of Lake Superior Provincial Park during this time.
