Overview

About

Michipicoten Island Provincial Park, a gem amid the wilds of Lake Superior, offers visitors a unique blend of geological wonders, rich ecosystems, and historical intrigue. With no facilities or designated campgrounds, the park is a haven for those seeking a true back-to-nature experience. Explore its diverse landscapes, from sugar maple forests to sandy beaches, and keep an eye out for the thriving woodland caribou and beaver populations.

When to go

The best time to visit Michipicoten Island Provincial Park is during the summer months when the weather is milder and the lake's notorious storms are less frequent. Winter visits can be challenging due to heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, making access difficult and potentially hazardous.
