Stop 37, Lake Superior Provincial Park

This is a nicely wooded area around Lake Superior.  The campground is fine, very quiet.  The main draw here is paddling.  There is a canoe trail that promises great fishing for Brook trout. 

We did the Peat Mountain hike to Foam Lake.  It was a well marked trail that gave us lots of cardio.  No great elevation is reached but there is lots of up and down.

I did a 45 mile bike ride to Wawa and back.  Wawa is not very prosperous looking, but they have a nice tourist information center with a giant goose sculpture on display.

We leave tomorrow for another Ontario Provincial Park.  



A couple of days after leaving the park, we read a story about a cross Canada cyclist who had his bike stolen from the Tim Horton's in Wawa.  A complete stranger bought him a new bike and he was able to continue his trip.  Frances and I had breakfast at that Tim Horton's within a day of that incident.
