Overview

About

There’s a reason Lake Superior has been referred to as an inland ocean and you’ll discover that for yourself when you visit this immensely beautiful Great Lake. Called gichigamiing or “The Big Lake” by the Anishinaabe people of the region and known for its furious storms, the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area will soon be recognized as one of the largest protected areas of fresh water in the world.

When to go

The best time to visit Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area is during the summer months, from June to September, when the visitor centres are open daily from 10am to 5pm and the weather is most conducive for outdoor activities. Winter visits offer a unique charm, though accessibility may vary due to weather conditions.
