Park Activities








Education
During the summer, park staff offer evening programs, guided hikes, spirit walks and guest speakers. Look for event schedules on park activity boards.

At Agawa Rock, interpreters are scheduled to talk about the pictographs and natural history of the park.

Fishing
In Lake Superior and in coastal streams and rivers, there are good populations of lake and rainbow trout, whitefish and three species of salmon. Inland waters offer good opportunities for catching lake and brook trout. To prevent the introduction on non-native species, live-bait fish is banned on interior park lakes.
More information on fishing.

Canoeing
Canoe routes range from easy to challenging and often involve stretches of white water. Pick up a brochure at the visitor centre to guide your choice of canoe route.

Canoeing and kayaking on the open water of Lake Superior is recommended only for those experienced enough to recognize and handle rapidly changing conditions.

Wildlife Viewing
An abundance of wildlife includes moose, commonly seen in the park, and white-tailed deer, whose numbers are limited because of deep snow and severe winters. Occasionally bear are seen near the campgrounds. Also making their home in the park are red squirrels, martens, red foxes, Canada lynx and timber wolves.

More than 250 bird species have been identified within the park. Great blue heron, gulls, loons and several varieties of warblers are among the most common feathered residents.

Boating
Motorboats are permitted on Lake Superior but not within the park, except at Sand Lake where motors no bigger than 10 horsepower are permitted.

Swimming
Beaches are located in each of the three park campgrounds - Agawa Bay, Crescent Lake and Rabbit Blanket Lake.

Winter Activities
The park is gated but accessible for skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing.

Snowmobiles are prohibited in the park except on Frater Road to access the Algoma Central Railway.

Hunting
Hunting in this park is subject to the Ontario Hunting Regulations. Certain restrictions apply. For more information, contact the park or your local area or district office of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
