Paju Peak Experience

7 sites · RVs, Tents1700 acres · Nipigon, ON
Welcome to Paju Peak in the community of Red Rock. 1700 acres of nature, history, and incredible views! Enjoy the recreation of the land, from hiking, trail walking, and fishing. Visit the massive cliffside where the locals of Red Rock often go to walk their dogs. This was previously a copper mining site back in the day and if you take a look around many of the clearings in the land you are able to see the old mining locations and can take a look into the rock face where miners were hard at work back in the days when it was operational. The gravel roads are partially maintained so we recommend travelling slow and 4x4 drive would be beneficial. There are signs as you turn onto the property. **Please note, everyone using the land must pack in and pack out all items.** There is a map attached in the pictures to help locate where the spots are and find your way throughout the land. If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a message and we'll get in touch! Thanks!

Here, the thrill of exploration awaits with activities like hiking amid ancient volcanic landscapes, spotting rare arctic plant species, and observing unique ecological phenomena. Although traditional campgrounds are not present, the park's remote wilderness offers a pure, undisturbed connection with nature.
