I really hope more people can get out and enjoy Lake Superior PP, it has something for everyone. I have to warn you about the Mississagi, it can be a pain when you book a site that is then usurped by the a backcountry hiker (hikers didn't need to book specific sites back when I was there in 2015).Umohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589613026841034962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592918214175520000.post-65460000113652359532018-11-27T22:36:00.845-05:002018-11-27T22:36:00.845-05:00My wife and I honeymooned at Lake Superior in 2012...My wife and I honeymooned at Lake Superior in 2012, and have camped there twice since.<br /><br />We've only done day trips to Lake Mijine... but it's indeed very special. Aside from the lake, the road to Gargantua Harbour, Old Woman Bay, the Agawa Rock Petroglyphs (which we were finally able to see on our 3rd trip), and the Orphan Lake trip were our favorites. We usually camp lakefront at Agawa Bay.<br /><br />Well worth the drive from the GTA. Although, you've got me intrigued with your posts on Mississagi Provincial Park!honduhmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624465434884371028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592918214175520000.post-2779775167485014852018-03-09T09:55:28.567-05:002018-03-09T09:55:28.567-05:00Sandy, thanks for sharing your beautiful memory an...Sandy, thanks for sharing your beautiful memory and thoughts. I really hope that you get to stop in at Lake Mijin again and I would love to hear what you think of it after nearly 40 years. And I hope one day I can hear the loons in spring like you did.

It was in late spring. At dusk the water mirrored the purple and magenta of the sky like liquid silk. I paddled around after dinner, mesmerized by the scene and the silence. We were all tucked in when the loon chorus started. I will remember it as long as I live. All night the wails, yodels and tremolos echoed across the water and into the surrounding hills. The sound absolutely immersed us in it. I live in northern Michigan and have heard loons many times. But never have I witnessed such an ethereal magical sound as the loons chorusing that night. It was spring. I am sure that that is when they are nesting and I doubt they chorus like that later in the summer. Through the years since, that scene and those sounds have stayed with me. This summer I am returning to Lake Superior Provincial Park. Perhaps I will go out on Lake Mijin again. I have traveled many places in the world. Nowhere else have I found the wild Spirit of the Northland so strong as it is on the Canadian shores of this region. It is my favorite place of all; the Lake Superior Country of the north. Thank you for writing of your experiences. sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261881652718608592noreply@blogger.com
