Seasonal day-use park and nature reserve. The impressive bedrock canyon is 150 m wide and 100 m deep, and can be viewed from two lookout at the cliff's edge. The steep walls isolate the canyon floor from the surrounding environment; temperatures at the bottom are significantly colder and have allowed cold-weather plants (more typical of arctic regions much further north) to survive the warming of the post-glacial era until today. The lookout points are connected to a 1 km trail from the parking lot.
Ouimet Canyon is a large gorge in the municipality of Dorion, Thunder Bay District in northwestern Ontario, Canada, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast of the city of Thunder Bay. The gorge is 100 metres (330 ft) deep, 150 metres (490 ft) wide and 2,000 metres long, protected as part of Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park.

10 km one-way all-season riverside trail connecting the Nipigon and Red Rock Marinas. Several lookout points (the most dramatic of which is Eagle's Ridge); leaves and foliage take on their fall colours from mid August through October. Parts of the trail are rated difficult, with a total elevation gain of 154 m. The first 3 km from the Nipigon Marina are relatively flat for an easier hike; if you're continuing from here, make sure you have appropriate footwear, sufficient water, and enough daylight to complete your hike. To hike the entire trail, consider starting in Red Rock; a shuttle service run by Epic Adventures (pre-arranged by phone, +1-807-887-1008) can take you to the trail head in Red Rock saving you from returning on foot.
History of Nipigon from the fur trade to development of the forest industry, displayed through literature and artefacts: tools that were used, products that were made, pictures of people there at that time.
There are no services or amenities for visitors in the park, but some of the rugged hiking trails lead to spectacular views of Nipigon Bay on Lake Superior. The southern shore is along the Lake Superior Water Trail, a network of access points for canoes and sea kayaks. Paddlers who enjoy ocean-like conditions can launch from marinas in Nipigon or Red Rock to appreciate views of the park from the bay.
