Welcome to one of Canada’s Top Ten Drives. Highway 17 from Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa, Ontario is one of the most spectacular drives in Canada. This highway winds its way north along the shore of one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes offering scenic views of and in the autumn, spectacular colours as the forest changes from maple and birch, to birch and conifers.
Although enjoying and capturing the scenery is the main focus of this trip, there are many other activities to enjoy along the way. There are a number of waterfalls, Chippewa, Sand River, Magpie Silver & High Falls to be seen, as well as the simple pleasure of waves upon Superior’s beaches at Pancake Bay or the quieter Katherine Cove & Bathtub Island. If you are adventurous, there are a number of hiking trails throughout Lake Superior Provincial Park, but most of these will take several hours to complete.
Once you arrive in Wawa, there are a number of things to do: Gem Panning, Fall Artisan Tour; as well as our many local sights. Magpie High Falls, Silver Falls, Sandy Beach, Michipicoten Post, Wawa Lake Water Fountain and many others.
Yours in adventuring,
Brenda & Melanie
