Algoma
Country runs from Elliot Lake in the east, Sault Ste. Marie in the
southwest, to past Hornepayne in the north. It includes Wawa,
Chapleau, Blind River, St. Joseph Island, Spanish, Thessalon, and
White River.
Algoma
Country offers the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior, museums,
casinos, camping, sea kayaking, skiing, trains rides, lock tours,
horseback riding, history, snowmobiling, and an abundance of
provincial parks, to name just a few things you can do here.
The Algoma
Central Railway takes you through some awe inspiring landscapes. In
the winter take the Snow Train for a look at our northern wilderness
few get to see. See where Winnie The Poor was born. Go sea kayaking
on warm days, visit a wide range of museums on raining days, and try
your luck at a casino in the evening. Visit Cockburn Island, and find
out why in 1996 it was listed as having a reeve, a treasurer, a
clerk, a roads engineer, a municipal office, 84 households, but only
a total population of two! Fly in, boat in, or drive in, Algoma
Country is sure to have something to keep your family happy and
entertained during your next vacation.
Algoma Country is centred around the city of Sault Ste. Marie, on
the US-Canada border across from Northern Michigan. This region
is well served by regional paved highways, connecting the large
northern cities of Kapuskasing, Sault Ste. Marie and Hearst.
Thirteen Provincial Parks and the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve,
the world's largest game preserve (in which all hunting and trapping
has been prohibited for 80 years), each offer many unique camping and
hiking adventures and experiences for canoe trippers, backpackers and
ATVers.
Whether you visit in summer or winter, there's a lot to see and do
in Algoma!
