Rail Excursions
Agawa Canyon Tour Train
A Canadian Signature Experience. The Agawa Canyon Tour Train is one of the most popular rail excursions in North America. This one-day rail excursion transports riders along 114 miles through the magnificent wilderness of Algoma. The Tour Train Station is located in the Canal District in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Algoma’s largest municipality. Upon departure from the Train Station, the train travels over the towering trestle at Montreal River, alongside remote northern lakes and rivers and through granite rock formations to the Agawa Canyon. Once the train reaches the Wilderness Park, passengers can explore the Canyon on foot. Nature trails lead to cascading waterfalls and there are spots to picnic. The Lookout Trail is the most challenging and impressive: take the 300 stairs to the viewing platform with a panoramic view of the entire Canyon.
- The tour train schedule begins in August and runs seven days a week to mid-October.
