Ouimet Canyon
This geologic phenomenon is one of the most spectacular in eastern Canada. Formed by rock faulting and the forces of ice, wind, rain and time, the canyon measures a full three kilometres (1.9 miles) in length and is 152 metres (500 feet) across. View this spectacular gorge from two platforms along a one-kilometre barrier-free trail and feel the cool air wafting from the depths. Below the 107 metre (350 ft) cliffs, hidden under the boulders on the canyon floor, are rare Arctic plants. To protect this fragile plant community access to the canyon floor is prohibited.
Hours/Season: Mid-May until mid-October, day-use only.
Amenities: Shop with refreshments and souvenirs.
Located 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Thunder Bay, off Highway 11/17 on Ouimet Canyon Road
