Covering 600 square miles, the beautiful yet rugged terrain of Lake Superior Provincial Park begins just south of Wawa. Route 17 initially runs through the heart of the refuge before paralleling the lakeshore in its southern portion.
Forested hills, whitewater streams, secluded lakes and wetlands (photo) characterize most of this fabulous refuge while scenic coves line Lake Superior. An inviting Visitor Center is off Route 17 on Agawa Bay, near the south end of the Park.
Following a week of sunshine and relatively warm weather, we endured chilly, wet, windy conditions during our visit to the Park today. Hoping that the inclement weather might increase our opportunity to see moose, bear and wolves, we drove along a number of backroads and scouted out a wide variety of lakes and wetlands. Alas, no sightings to report.
