Lake Superior Water Trail
LSWC worked with Trans Canada Trail to create a 1,000 km water trail from Gros Cap to Thunder Bay. By installing infrastructure like washrooms, docks, canoe lockers, picnic tables, interpretive signage and accessible connected pathways, we have provided people with a safe and enjoyable way to interact with the Lake.
Lake Superior Water Trail community access points are also connected to designated hiking trails such as the Voyageur Trail, Casque Isles Trail, Nipigon River Recreation Trail and the Coastal trails in the parks.
For thousands of years, people have been traversing these waters engaged in everything from fishing to travel to continental trade. The bond that today’s recreational paddlers have with all those that have come before is that this vast lake requires respect. Cold temperatures and wind fetch across this great freshwater expanse create conditions demanding adequate skills and proper outfitting.
Our ambition is to facilitate the connection of all the water trails around the Lake. As well, create a connected community of Lake Superior paddlers dedicated to protecting freshwater.
