See & Do

This region offers many things to do: adventure, culture, history and the great outdoors as attractions for locals and visitors. Escape into some of the most spectacular wilderness in Ontario on the famous Agawa Canyon Tour Train. Many scenic lookouts can be accessed by nature and hiking trails, and the region’s touring routes along the coastline of Lake Superior. Located throughout the region are cascading waterfalls of varying sizes, some of which inspired paintings by Canada’s Group of Seven.

Other things to do in Algoma are visiting unique attractions only found here. Take a selfie in front of the most photographed monument in North America, the Wawa Goose, or at White River’s Winnie-the-Pooh statue. See the Loon Dollar Monument in Echo Bay or have a seat in the Algomy Red Muskoka Chair in Thessalon. These are just a few of the fun and quirky big roadside attractions you’ll find here.

Learn this region’s rich, cultural history at regional museums, galleries and national historic sites. Cities and towns host fun and exhilarating events throughout the year, like art festivals and tours, concerts, fishing derbies, and winter carnivals.
