Lake Superior NMCA

The Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA) extends across the North Shore of Lake Superior from Thunder Cape at the foot of the Sleeping Giant, all the way to Bottle Point just east of Terrace Bay, and south to the Canada-United States border. Once established, it will be part of a nation-wide system of protected areas managed by Parks Canada and will be approximately 10,880 square kilometers in size, occupying almost 13% of the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area!Explore and discover the sheltered bays and endless rugged coastlines across the top of Lake Superior and take in the spectacular views from the shore or out on the water!
