Bathtub Island is a fun little spot in Lake Superior Provincial Park, reached by a short walk from Katherine Cove and a quick wade through shallow sandy water. The rock forms a natural “bathtub” that fills with warm lake water when the waves roll in, perfect for a dip on a sunny day. It’s best from May to October, and especially in summer when the water feels warmer. Try to go at low water levels so you can cross easily and spend more time on the island. You’ll need a day-use permit (about CAD $15.50) to park at Katherine Cove.
