Algoma District

A lakeside wilderness in northern Ontario, famous for its autumn canyon train ride and the spectacular scenery of Lake Superior.

Algoma District is located in north-central Ontario, bordering the northern shores of Lake Superior and Lake Huron, featuring endless forests, lakes, and Canadian Shield rock formations. The hub city of Sault Ste. Marie features the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site, the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, and the waterfront boardwalk. To the north, you can take the Agawa Canyon Tour Train or head to Lake Superior Provincial Park to see the Agawa Rock Pictographs. The autumn foliage from late September to early October is world-famous, while winter offers skiing at Searchmont Resort. The gateways are Sault Ste. Marie Airport and the Trans-Canada Highway.
