The Lake Superior

Lake Superior is famous for three main things, it is the largest body of freshwater in the world by surface area, it has brilliant hunting and fishing opportunities and the weather conditions can often be brutal.

Explore it by boat, kayak, canoe or by foot but remember Misshepezhieu (the local water spirit) must always be respected or disaster can and will strike.

If you are venturing out in to the wilds an experienced guide is a must - of course on board the Lake Superior you won't need to worry about wrathful spirits, bad weather or getting lost you can just sit back and relax!

Why buy this

Making three round trips per week between Sudbury and White River, the Lake Superior stops at Cartier, Chapleau, Franz and a few other places. These tiny communities are sleepy places with only the basic comforts but for you hardened outdoors lovers that won't be a problem. With several national parks and the largest crown game preserve in the western hemisphere be prepared for extreme adventure.

The Lake Superior allows outdoor enthusiasts to get off anywhere they want, even where there is no scheduled stop! How? Simply by requesting a special stop, but you need to do so in advance!

What you don't get
