This is a surprising find, tucked away as it is behind Tontu apparel/café where you might later choose to linger over a coffee, although there are separate entrances at side and rear. But once you enter the spa there is the illusion of entering a different world, the décor all drapes and wall paintings reminiscent of Bohemian Amsterdam. Erica was most attentive and gave us fascinating thick tomes to read as we experienced our foot detoxes. The treatment rooms are like tented pavilions and we most definitely recommend you stop off at the spa and experience the treats it has to offer first hand.

Located on a rugged peninsula of thick forests, several lakes, and high granite cliffs, this scenic wonderland offers nature walks, camping and fishing activities.

Sleeping Giant is a beautiful park with great camping. The water front sites on the peninsula into Marie Louise Lake were stunning, and having your own steps down to the water and views of the giant. You could swim right from your campsite although the water was still cold in August. However, beware that the sites can be very windy which made it a challenge to set up a tent! During our stay we did the Sea Lion hike on one day which was an easy walk to a great view of the sea lion. The next day we did the Top of the Giant hike. This is a full day trip even if you bike, it took us 6-7 hours and we only stopped for a quick lunch at the top. Make sure you get an early start, we started at 9am and the trail wasn't busy, but as we came down from the giant the trail was getting very busy around the noon hour. If you choose to bike in make sure you have a mountain bike and are a confident cyclist as the trail is quite rocky and muddy in areas. The walking it self is very strenuous for just over a km, as it is a straight up climb. This hike is possible to accomplish in a slow and steady manner! Once reaching the top the views are spectacular, but be prepared to work hard to get there. I would definitely like to return to explore more of the park

Spectacular and dizzying are the words to describe the steep-sided canyons of this rugged and scenic region.

Very short and easy hike to 2 breathtaking overlooks over the canyon. Really worth it. Plus a little pond at the bottom of the hill where we saw a beaver.

Hiking, camping, fishing and boating are just a few of the outdoor activities available at this scenic park.

I wish this Park was closer! Staff very friendly during our entire stay. Camped in Whitesand site # 64. so much to do and see here! We rode our bikes all over the campgrounds and people driving were mindful of their speed. Park badges available! Spent over 2 hours kayaking Whitesand Lake....so beautiful and calm. We enjoyed several hikes... Back 40 up to the Lookout is a MUST. Some spots more difficult then others as it is an uphill trail. Rainbow Falls is very pretty for photo taking and the hike includes many steps! We took a right out of the gate onto 17 and found a side road that runs along Superior. Stopped at a beach and walked. Beautiful area.

The falls were amazing you could walk on either side and the boardwalk was nice and wide so it would be a great one for everyone and easy access.We went early so it was nice to have the views pretty much to ourselves to enjoy.

I spent 3 hours at this mine and wish I'd spent more time there. ALL the praise for this mine is true. The many types of beautiful amethyst here are fairly easy to find and don't require much washing. There are also lots of great, professionally cleaned samples for sale at reasonable prices. The owner is a very accomodating, generous, and likeable gentleman. I highly recommend this experience to people of all ages.

Quick stop off the highway, recommend this. Short walk of 5 minutes to SPECTACULAR view of falls, gorge and lake. You could picnic here too, but if time is short, you can see the great view in less than 30 minutes.

We go over to Mission island once in awhile to view the deer, the birds and walk along the paths on a quiet eve. A real gem in the middle of this city. We often take visitors to this site and they really enjoy it as well.
