From here you have a great view of Nipigon Bay at the northernmost tip of Lake Superior. This is also where the largest tributary, the Nipigon River, flows into the lake. Along the Nipigon River Recreation Trail you will repeatedly pass great vantage points that offer you great views of the water.
Nipigon Bay was declared a problem area of the Great Lakes in 1987 due to the poor water quality. Over the past 30 years, significant measures have been taken to improve the water and environmental quality. For example, former wetlands have been restored, river courses renaturalized and spawning grounds created.
