Pukaskwa National Park on Lake Superior Circle Route
Pukaskwa in Ontario's largest National Park. It is a wilderness area with no roads so its main users are serious back country hikers, long distance canoeists, and kayakers (due to a long Lake Superior coastline). The only improved campground and general public access to the park is at the extreme NW corner in the Hattie Cove region.
The road to Hattie Cove is about 5 miles east of Marathon and runs south 10 miles through the First Nation communities of Heron Bay and Pic River. Due to it being a bit off the beaten path, the campground had lots of empty sites. A great place to visit for the day or spend a few days. Hattie Cove itself is protected enough to bring your canoe.
The day we spent there started out dark and overcast as you'll see from the photos, but ended up much brighter by the time we were through with our hike. Below the photos is a Map of Hattie Cove and a Link to the park website.
