I just started camping and paddling this year (in my fabulous 40s!) and Lake Superior PP and Sleeping Giant PP are on my list for sure. I'm really loving your content. It's very inspiring and every time I go out on my board now, I can't help but yell ADVENTIA!
I love that you started doing these things and it sounds like you're having a great time! Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out my content. I really appreciate it! Put this road trip on your list for next summer. It will be an advencha!! 🤙🏼
We love Neys and Rainbow Falls. We have done this trip twice. It is one of our favourite parts of Canada. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for this. You have given us lots of ideas for next time.
Thanks for watching and for the recommendations! Rainbow Falls is a good one. I’ve done this trip a bunch and have never done Neys but have heard great things about it so it’s on the list for next time. I hope you get to some of the spots this summer!
Don't forget the Nipigon Scenic Tower, nice small town. Also, depending when you travel, drive to Red Rock, a small community with only one road in and out. Surrounded by water and mountains, they host fishing derbies, atv runs and the upcoming Folk Fest. Moved to Northern Ontario from Southern Ontario and love all the great scenery and people.
Thanks for the added tips! There are so many amazing places. Yes, the Red Rock Folk Fest is a good one. My friend lives in the area. Have a great time at the fest and enjoying the amazing spot!
Have you done the Trans-Canada HWY Lake Superior coastal drive from Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay? Or are looking to do it? What are some of your favourite stops or what ones are at the top of your list to check out!
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment 🙏🏼 This drive is one of my favourites and it was fun exploring old favs and new places again! Any additional ones you'd add?
It’s a great drive! If you’re going all the way to Thunder Bay check out this video ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=dnVKTU3N1LrtNXZf I also have one with a few things to do in Sault Ste Marie Have the best time!
Some GREAT spots to stop along the way. I used to live in Thunder Bay quite a few years ago, and we have made the trip a few times when we headed to Alberta. We pull our 5th wheel camper, so stopping at some of those are next to impossible. We'll have to stop at some campgrounds and made day trips. Time to make another bucket list :) I'm glad your video showed up in my feed.
It's an amazing section for road tripping in Ontario! Anything you'd add? Good tip/point on some of these spots being difficult to park a 5th wheel camper. The small parking lots can get super busy in the summer too. I went to Lakehead University and did this drive twice a year. Love T.Bay! Here is the adventure vlog I made on my visit last summer ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=3WW6U6FbZtjZGDJq Thank for watching and commenting!
I used to work for DeVry Institute of Technology back in 1999. Part of my area of recruitment was Northern Ontario. Stationed in Sudbury, I’d often travel to Dryden. Many a time. Often, I had to stop the car to sit in amazement as the night sky filled with more stars than I had ever seen in my life!. In one small town I had stopped in a once prosperous ferry boat/ logging town of the late 1800’s to 1940’s. I believe it was called Restole Bay. I could be wrong with the spelling. The Restaurant was well known in travel accounts and judging from my breakfast I can see why. My coffee was freshly pressed from a French Press, the Omelette was out of this world and as I got up to pay my bill, the waitresses asked if there was something wrong? Why was I leaving? I hadn’t finished the remaining course of the meal? There were 4 more plates offered! Breakfast took near 2 hours with the serving and chatting… Thank God there was plenty of big trees to hide behind to remove 10 cups of coffee from my blander! One one of the parks I had walked with the kids on the beach has me curious? The beech, I noticed had Black Sand for miles. Can you panhandle or small dredge a small area of beach for gold in a Provincial Park? Or is it better to apologize than ask permission?
Thanks for watching and commenting! Fully recommend checking this part of Ontario out. If you do, watch the Sault Ste. Marie video ua-cam.com/video/2npfyt8yydw/v-deo.htmlsi=aBMsObLw2nsPEacd and the Thunder Bay video too. ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=6X_KSis7R67F37KL
I'm from Kitchener and I've done this road trip twice. I started laughing when you mentioned the lack of gas stations LOL, I gave this same warning to those I recommended this road trip. However, you forgot to mention no cell phone signal, I had no signal for maybe 400 kms. I plan on doing this again maybe in the spring, stay in Thunder Bay one night then head over to Winnipeg.
It’s a great road trip! I went to school in TBay and usually go every summer so I’ve done it a lot. Great point on cell reception! It is definitely in and out. Have fun going back this spring!
North of Superior is one of the most beautiful parts of Ontario. We visit many of these stops each summer on our cross country trex to visit our family. Old Womans Bay is a must
Love it Agree with everything you inserted Rossport SAND would be the only addition I was born in the Soo and lived in Wawa my first 13 years so done that trip a lot Great job
You got that right! I briefly mention Rossport at the very end with some shots of SAND. There are just so many great places to explore it's hard to put them all in one video! My partner, Tony grew up in the Soo. He joins me in the Sault Ste Marie vlog. It's a beautiful spot to be and I can't wait for my next trip!
I've done this trip many times and have been to all of the spots except for bathtub island and the double suspension bridges. I've also boondocked close to Wawa by the Michipicoten River. Next to the Canadian Rockies, Sleeping Giant is my next favourite. BTW, I'm a former scuba diver and donned my wetsuit and snorkeled over to Silver Islet (there is No Trespassing on the actual islet). Met a couple canoeing and they asked me "where did you come from?"
It sounds like you've had some amazing adventures! I agree, Sleeping Giant is an awesome place! 🙌🏼 How was snorkeling over the old silver mines? It was spooky enough paddling over them but I bet it was super neat to see clearly in the water! I'm also a SCUBA diver 🤿
This is a great video and summary of all the highlights in this area. We have driven through here by car, and have seen most of them but not all.This summer we hope to take our Bikes through here and complete our Cross-Canada tour and visit some of your top recommendations! Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad it was a good summary. Did I miss any you would add? What's one you haven't been but now want to? Sounds like you have a summer full of epic adventures ahead! 👏🏼
@@PaddleAdventurer we have been to all of them, with the exception of Chippewa falls and Agawa Rock Pictographs (and the long/high suspension Bridge). We definitely want to check these out in our next stretch of our cross Canada tour. Although it is to the West of TB, On I would add Kakabeka Falls. It one of my favorite spots in NW ON. Cheers.
@@joshandjamesvosperfromhere6887 You've seen a lot! It always blows my mind how many epic spots there are to explore along this stretch! I have a video on Thunder Bay that includes Kakabeka Falls. If you're up in T.Bay this year there are a few other gems in and around I'd also recommend adding to the list! ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=0DdnbxEuEEASnxrW
So many great spots in TBay! Did you check out the Thunder Bay adventure video? ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=wXMSYjbxBFsh5Jw2 Do you remember what the place was called? I lived and went to University there for 4 years.
Oooh, thanks for the added suggestions! I'd love the check out Dorian Tower and Kama Cliffs. I included Kakabeka Falls in the Thunder Bay video since it's a little past the city when coming from The Soo. Check the video out here ua-cam.com/video/wfvxedDnEXY/v-deo.htmlsi=hmoEGrwl8bwaXDPT
@@PaddleAdventurer ,also , if you would like an interesting adventure for yourself, check out the paddle into White Otter Castle. Lots of nice beaches, and island camping spots for that one. A firend and I did that one last year...(we use pedal Kayaks, though)
Great video! If I could recommend adding if there are charging stations for EV owners. Just a quick add if there are concerns or conveniences. Thanks 😊
Perfect, helpful info for me. Hoping to spend the 2024 summer slowly working my way from Thunder Bay to north of Toronto, hiking, biking, and kayaking along the way. These are exactly the types of stops/basecamp areas I would use (and then I use public library wireless to work remotely). Have any travel/paddling info on the north shore of Georgian Bay? I have never been to Canada yet and these are great looks at what's there. Last summer I basically did the same type of travel, along the south side of Superior, in the U.S.
Thanks for the kind comment! Sounds like you're going to have an awesome summer adventuring! I don't have anything on the north shore of Georgian Bay but I would highly recommend going to Killarney. This video is of the backcountry but at the end we finish our trip with fish and chips in the town of Killarney which is right on Lake Huron. ua-cam.com/video/xby7kyS4_04/v-deo.htmlsi=v0r0GvnFAuN1wcdJ I'd also recommend driving up the Bruce Peninsula and taking the ferry to Manitoulin Island. I talk about it at the end of this video. South Bruce Peninsula ua-cam.com/video/CTuyA4vNVr0/v-deo.htmlsi=hudAQqsILTSY0scC and then on the peninsula, Tobermory ua-cam.com/video/cHzMC-ySYus/v-deo.htmlsi=D5dswbjjQObOcLs_ and Lion's Head ua-cam.com/video/J2MHWQJ30Bk/v-deo.htmlsi=kjqWGCFye8hJMM2a are great stops! I hope these other videos help. Have an epic summer touring around the Great Lakes in Ontario 🤙🏼
Thanks for watching and commenting! Going north around Lake Huron vs taking the ferry via the Bruce Peninsula you go by Muskoka Lakes area and a few different Provincial Parks which are beautiful places plus Sudbury is a great place to check out.
Great question! In Ontario you only have to worry about black bears and not grizzlies. For the most part they will likely bolt as soon as they see you but you can surprise them so it's good to make noise by talking or using a bear bell/whistle. Keep dogs on leashes and be aware of any bear evidence. Bear spray is also a good tool to have on you and know how to use. When camping, always bear proof your food and scented items.
Made this drive many times, but have not visited very many of these stops. One that I have that is not on your list is high falls just south of Wawa. When I stopped there this past fall I could not believe that this is not a major attraction. Shame on Wawa Town council for not investing in this and promoting 6
Agreed; it’s hard to do all the stops! I too have done this drive many times and only recently was able to stop at some new places. Thanks for the great addition! I’ve added Scenic High Falls to my list. 🙌🏼
@@PaddleAdventurer You shoulda mentioned it though. It's pretty sweet. I took my aunt (who's terrified of heights) and Mamasan to it and sent them down before I went.
I haven't done Sudbury to Sault Ste Marie in awhile but just before Sudbury there are a number of great Provincial Parks like Grundy Lake, Killbear, French River and Killarney. I've heard Mississagi Falls is a nice stop off the highway as well as Chutes Provincial Park and Serpent River Park with a small hike to Kennebec Falls. You could also take a side trip down to Manitoulin Island. And if you aren't from Sudbury Science North and the Big Nickel and Dynamic Earth are great spots to visit.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I can't add anything to a video once posted but stay tuned as I'll be publishing a full blog with maps and all the details soon! Subscribe to the blog to not miss out. paddleadventurer.com/subscribe/ In the meantime all spots are searchable on Google Maps.
Just parking? I don’t think you can at the picnic areas and view spots but I’m not totally sure. I’m pretty sure there are truck areas for overnight and as mentioned in the video there are a number of Provincial Parks you can car camp.
I mention Nipigon as a bonus at 13:49. There are so many awesome spots to explore that you just can't name or fit them all into one video! What spot would you recommend exploring around Nipigon?
Check out the blog with written details and a map! paddleadventurer.com/ontario-road-trip/

With a canoe you could explore that area for weeks.
Yes! I’d say closer to months or maybe even years. There are tons of amazing lakes and places to paddle.

47.852400, -84.884520 Noisy Bay Trail is a favorite trail of mine.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I’ll have to check that out on my next trip.
