Agate Island

Agate

Agate Island is within the Lake Superior Archipelago near Nipigon Bay, a part of the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area. The agate laden shoreline of this island has been named one of the seven Natural Wonder Beaches of the world by the Travel & Escape Channel.

The island is also unique due to the Pukaskwa Pits that can be found there. These pits were dug into the pebbled beach by early Ojibwe inhabitants over a thousand years ago. These pits are thought to have been made for food storage though other theories suggest hunting blinds or spiritual sites.

The Boom Camp Interpretive Park comprises 12 km of multi-season trails passing through three distinct ecological zones from coastal headlands through to provincially significant wetlands. Located at the mouth of the Mississagi River, this section of the North Channel of Lake Huron is significant for its cultural and natural historic values. Archaeological evidence and oral traditions of the Mississauga First Nation support the belief that the area was a gathering place occupied by some of the earliest First Nation communities.
