Old Mill Beach, on Rock Lake, is perfect for families with warm water, sand, and picnic facilities—a perfect rest stop on a scenic drive through the Bruce Mines area. Great for kayaking, canoeing, birding and all sorts of outdoor activities.
Agawa Bay is magnificent for its stark contrast of endless beach, watery horizon, and surrounding wilderness of forest hills and bare cliffs.
Due to its exposed, open-water conditions, the water at Agawa Bay tends to be cool for swimming, except during heat waves on windless days when it’s a refreshing joy.
The best beachcombers beach in the area is found at Pancake Bay Provincial Park. Over 3 kilometres of impeccable, photogenic sands make Lake Superior feel like the Caribbean.
The water at Pancake Bay is clear, crisp, and refreshingly chill, making it best on hot and calm days.
A broad arc of sand and swaying beach grasses abutted by windswept pine makes up the northeast corner of Lake Superior’s Batchawana Bay.
Open from mid-May to October for day use only, featuring a visitor centre with washroom facilities, drive-in picnic sites with access to a huge beach, and shallow water with a sand bottom for great swimming.
Visitors to Sault Ste. Marie can’t help but be envious of this massive expanse of brown-sugar sand within city limits. Clear, shallow water with a sandy bottom makes it ideal for family swimming; the water here tends to be warmer than other Lake Superior swim spots, as well. The Disc Golf Park is open. The Beach Bus operates seasonally. Check the city website for summer schedules.

The Maple Hill Farm – Ferme côte d’érables Inc.’s story begins quite some time ago. The 35-acre property on which our farm sits has been a hub for social gatherings and community life since the early 20th century. It is an important local landmark, known in our area as the “Despatie Maple Farm – La ferme Despatie”. It is a particularly meaningful place for Northern-Ontarians who, for decades, have come to celebrate the arrival of spring and enjoy the land’s first harvest of the year – pure maple syrup!
