Nipigon Marina

As you head up the well marked deep water channel toward Nipigon, examine the cliffs on the eastern shore across from Sawmill Point and you will discover a series of pictographs. Painted between 400 and 1000 years ago, the origin and meaning of the symbols remains a mystery.

A well marked channel leads upriver from Nipigon Bay to the marina which can accommodate any size of vessel. A complete range of services are offered at the waterfront, including diesel, gasoline (may be arranged), water, pumpouts, washrooms, showers, overnight camping and gift shop. There is 20 feet of depth at the general docks, and 12 feet of depth at the fuel dock.

Nipigon is the Most Northerly Fresh Water Port In North America, and the only fresh water port North Of the 49th Parallel. Visit us and get your official certificate.

The heritage of this community, known as the "Crossroads of Canada", is depicted in a series of murals that grace the downtown streets. A laundry, supermarket, bank, Post Office, convenience stores, library and Internet, beer and liquor outlets, hardware, marine dealer, clothing and gift stores, accommodation and restaurants are located within walking distance of the harbour. Taxi service and car rental is also available.

Nipigon hosts a number of festivals, making a visit all the more enticing:

• The 3rd weekend in July is the Lake Helen Pow Wow.
• The 1st weekend (long weekend) in August is the Blueberry Blast.
• The September long weekend is the Nipigon Fall Fishing Festival.

Stretch Your Legs

Take a hike on the recreational trail which winds along the west bank of the Nipigon River between Red Rock and Nipigon. The 8.2 km (5 mi) trail features abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery. Sections of the trail from the Nipigon Marina to Stillwater Creek and from the Red Rock Marina to Lloyd's Lookout provide a pleasant walk. Between Sawmill Point and Lloyd's Lookout, the trail becomes quite challenging with a series of steep inclines, but the effort is rewarded with a panoramic view of Nipigon Bay from the lookout at Eagle Ridge. Allow about 3.5 hours to hike the complete trail.

Nestled at the base of the red rock cuesta between Nipigon and Red Rock, the picturesque 3,250 yard, par 36 course at the North Shore Golf Club uses the scenic topography to present a uniquely northern challenge.
