Canoeing

The Rossport Islands offer a safe and tranquil area to enjoy your canoe. You can sneak up on a loon, a family of otters or maybe a beaver in Little Lake Harbour or in the inlet at the backside of Quarry Island.

As you paddle along the island shores, you can observe towering cliffs, land your canoe in one of the sandy bays and perhaps see the local Bald Eagles or Peregrine Falcons that inhabit the area. If you stay in the moment, you can envision what it must have been like for the First Nations peoples and voyageurs to have passed through this area hundreds of years ago. For the explorers, this inland sea must have been both confusing and inspirational as they travelled.

If you don't have a canoe, you can rent one from a local service provider.
