Review & FAQ:

The largest of North America’s Great Lakes, Lake Superior is shared by Canada and the United States. The Canadian side of the lake between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie is rugged and wild, and glaciers, volcanoes, and earthquakes worked their magic to form the natural landscape. The lake’s gray waters are cold and forbidding, and storms can appear out of nowhere.

The steep coast is covered by old forests and has two wonderful parks: Pukaskwa National Park and Lake Superior Provincial Park. Both parks are great for hiking and camping, and the lake is very popular among boaters and fishermen. Beware of insects in the summer.
