* Dark-Sky Preserve *
Experience spectacular Lake Superior coastline with aquamarine waters, rocky cliffs, beaches, and rolling hills of lush northern forest ~

Lake Superior Provincial Park is 1600 sq. km. (618 sq. mi.) of northern Ontario wilderness along the shore of Lake Superior - the largest lake in the world. The park is a diverse landscape of forested hills, clear lakes, streams and rivers, and a Lake Superior shoreline with features ranging from the 200m (650 ft) cliffs of Old Woman Bay to the 3 km (2 mile) long beach at Agawa Bay. The Trans Canada Highway passes through the park for 83 km (52 mi) giving access to picnic areas, hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, rivers and beaches. You can also leave the highway behind and explore the interior of the park or the remote sections of the Lake Superior shoreline.

Treaties Recognition Week represents one of many steps on Ontario’s journey of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

More than 40 treaties and other land agreements cover Ontario.

Learn about the treaties that cover where you live, go to school or work: https://www.ontario.ca/page/map-ontario-treaties-and-reserves

Ten years ago, Ontario established Treaties Recognition Week in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, creating dedicated opportunities for people across the province to learn about Treaties and Treaty relationships.

As we approach this milestone anniversary, take time to learn about our shared history as Treaty people, and reflect on the Treaties that continue to shape relationships between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous people in Ontario.

Join us next week as we share stories, resources and opportunities to deepen your understanding of Treaties and Treaty relationships.

What’s in your fall hiking pack? 🎒🍂

As the days get shorter, a flashlight or headlamp is one small piece of gear that can make a BIG difference.

If you’re heading out later in the day, plan your route, keep an eye on the time, and give yourself plenty of daylight to finish your hike. 🌙🥾

Good adventures start with good preparation!
