Pancake Bay Provincial Park

Pancake Bay Provincial Park is located on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, and is an ideal place for a short stop over or an extended vacation. Over many years, the prevailing winds and the action of the waves have piled up the sand on the shores of the bay creating excellent beaches. The park features three kilometres of sand beaches, and is a great place for camping, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking nature trails and has 260 Campsites.

Lake Superior Provincial Park

From Lake Superior’s rugged coast, this park moves inland over mist-shrouded hills and deep canyons. 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.

Potholes Provincial Nature Reserve

This nature reserve east of Wawa gets its name from glacial potholes and troughs scooped out of bedrock forming the riverbed of the Kiniwabi River. Nestled in the Boreal Forest 55 kms east of Wawa on Highway 101, Potholes is a remarkable geological site. Large holes called “potholes” were naturally drilled into the stream bed by rock fragments powered by glacial melt waters. The water still flows through these potholes and provides a site of great natural beauty and geological interest.
