Lake Superior Provincial Park
A vast park on Lake Superior's rugged Ontario shore north of Sault Ste. Marie, with campgrounds, long beaches, hiking trails and paddling. Remote, so bring supplies with you.
What visitors say
Lake Superior Provincial Park runs along a long stretch of Highway 17, and visitors are struck by the rocky coast, wind off the lake and big views. Fall colour draws a lot of praise, and even an October trip through part-frozen streams and lakes left one visitor impressed.
Campers describe spacious, well laid-out campgrounds, with beachside sites and sunsets that last late into the evening. Washrooms are well placed, with short paths from the sites. Highway 17 runs behind at least one campground, so sites farther from the road are quieter.
Hiking and paddling are the main draws. Reviewers mention Rabbit Blanket Lake and the Peat Mountain trail, which one hiker found badly overgrown but fun, and suggests gaiters. The park also has canoe routes, a long beach and rock paintings. It's a big place split into several areas, so plan your route ahead.
The nearest store is more than half an hour's drive away, so pack everything you need. Firewood and ice are sold in the park. Bear tracks have been seen, so store food properly.
