Since much of the 22,000 square miles of Algoma Country is unspoiled wilderness, the possibilities are endless for those who enjoy outdoor adventure. Nestled between two of the greatest lakes – Lake Superior and Lake Huron, some of the finest fishing in the world is available in the hundreds of lakes in the area. Whether it is a fly-in cabin, a drive-in lodge, or a train resort you are looking for, Algoma Country has an outdoor vacation waiting just for you.

Moose, bear and small game offer hunters the ultimate challenge in Algoma Country. Or, if it’s a quiet campsite or a walk along a wooded nature trail that is in order, any of our provincial parks or private campgrounds can more than fit the bill. Nature’s gifts are in abundance, whether it is rockhounding, bird watching or just breathtaking scenery. Algoma Country has it all.

Don’t forget winter. A variety of recreational adventures await you in Algoma Country, which offers hundreds of kilometers of groomed cross country ski trails, over 2,000 kilometers of groomed snowmobile trails and several downhill ski facilities. Algoma Country also boasts some of the finest winter carnivals you’ll ever see. Get away for  some restful ice fishing or just a cozy weekend in a log cabin nestled in big snow country where the possibilities for an unforgettable winter vacation are almost endless.
