The marina hosts incredible views of Dog Head Mountain and the famous Nipigon Bridge. You'll also find a trailhead for the Nipigon River Recreation Trail that leads all the way to Red Rock—but you don't have to complete the whole thing! It's a 2-kilometre, forested walk to the viewing deck right on the river.
