Experience Wawa - Real Algoma

Surrounded by hundreds of kilometres of boreal wilderness, Wawa is a friendly community tucked away in the northeastern corner of Lake Superior. Along the coast of the Great Lake, the protected forests stretch as far as the eye can see in every direction. Surround yourself with nature. Visit Pukaskwa National Park’s remote wilderness to the north, Lake Superior Provincial Park’s rugged coast to the south, or legendary fly-in fishing waters to the west.

In the center of these wilderness preserves is Wawa, the basecamp for adventure. Here, you’ll find all supplies needed for adventures by canoe, kayak, world-class fishing, ATV, or snowmobile. Area attractions include the Famous Wawa Goose: Visit our iconic monument overlooking the Trans-Canada Highway. Or, discover the Heritage Doors art installations. We invite you to walk Sandy Beach, the famous shoreline captured by Group of Seven painter A.Y. Jackson. And don’t forget to explore Scenic High Falls and Silver Falls.

The people here have a deep sense of adventure. Our friendly community welcomes nature enthusiasts with open arms. Locals are happy to share stories, point out hidden gems, pore over maps, and help visitors get the most out of their journey through our wild lands. What will your next adventure hold?

Visit our local experts at the Visitor Centre at the Hwy 17 & 101 Junction. Open May through Thanksgiving to answer all your travel questions.
