Nipigon River Pictographs

Pictographs

The Nipigon River Pictographs are located on cliffs in the Nipigon Bay at the mouth of the Nipigon River where it enters Lake Superior in Ontario’s Superior Country. The pictographs are only viewable by boat, canoe or kayak. There is a boat launch and EZ Dock for kayaks at the Nipigon Marina and a launch at the Red Rock Marina adjacent to the site. This Indigenous pictograph site is the second largest on Lake Superior – the first being the Agawa pictographs. The depictions are thought to be painted using red ochre mixed with sturgeon fish oil.

Sandy Point Beach

Sandy Point Beach is a unique beach that can only be accessed by boat. It is located in the Bruce Channel on Red Lake, between Cochenour and McKenzie Island. You can watch the people ferry back and forth to the island!

 

It has a long sand bar that allows you to walk way out into the channel. It has two designated fire pits which are perfect for enjoying s'mores or a roasted hot dog. If you are boating in the area, please drive slow and watch for the sandbar.

Devil's Gap Rock

Devil's Gap Rock on Lake of the Woods

Aboriginals believe certain rocks inhabit spirits. Devil’s Gap Rock, however, is not such a rock. It was painted in 1894 by two brothers as a prank and has since been repainted over the years by area residents. Despite the fact it is not a ‘Spirit Rock’ this particular rock at Devil’s Gap continues to be a popular attraction as it stands guard at the opening to the Devil’s Gap, a narrow channel that boaters heading out on Lake of the Woods from Kenora pass.

Battle Island Lighthouse

Battle Island Lighthouse

Located 5.7 miles (9.3 km) from Rossport, Battle Island Lighthouse was established to guide boats coming in from Lake Superior through Simpson Channel, into Nipigon Bay.  The original lighthouse, built in 1871, was replaced in 1911.  The grounds are open to the public, but the tower is closed.  It can be viewed by private boat, commercial charter, or by kayak/canoe.
