Kayaking
Renowned as the best sea kayaking in the interior of North America, kayakers from around the world have converged on the shores of Lake Superior. Its pristine waters and rugged shoreline offer kayaking experiences closest to that found on the world’s greatest oceans.
Adding to the allure of paddling these waters is the opportunity to include one of the many spectacular hikes along Lake Superior Provincial Park or Pukaskwa National Park coastlines. Algoma has several outfitters located along the shores of Lake Superior from Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa. They will help you plan and completely outfit and guide your sea kayaking trip. Outdoor Writer James Smedley Outdoors captures the adventurous kayaking experience along the coast of Lake Superior with the story Paddling Superior's Sunshine Coast.
The following are a sample of sea kayaking trips:
Goulais River
Pancake Bay
Pictographs Agawa Bay
Slate Islands
Michipicoten
Pukaskwa National Park
Montreal River
