Aguasabon Falls & Gorge
The Aguasabon Falls and Gorge are located one km west of
the Tourist Information Center in Terrace Bay. From
Highway 17, follow the signs to a parking lot at the falls.
From the parking lot there is a boardwalk out to a viewing
platform overlooking the gorge and the spectacular 100 foot
falls that are flowing into the gorge from the left. The
Aguasabon Falls and Gorge features a large turn-around
parking lot, picnic tables and washrooms. The boardwalk to
the observation deck is wheelchair accessible and serves as
an entrance point to the 52 km Casque Isles Hiking Trail.
Aguasabon Golf Course - www.terracebaygolf.ca
This challenging nine-hole golf course features amazing
scenery that borders the winding Aguasabon River and
skirts Terrace Bay beach. Tee off times are not required
as there is usually no more than a 10-15 minute wait,
however you should call ahead to ensure a tournament
is not scheduled. Following a round of golf, you can relax
in the clubhouse, which offers a full service restaurant,
licensed bar, basic pro shop, and elevated patio deck
with a view of the course and Lake Superior. The course
also features a driving range, putting green, powered
gas cart rentals, golf club and pull cart rentals.
Casque Isles Trail
The Casque Isles Hiking Trail is a 52.4 km hiking trail from
Terrace Bay to Schreiber to Rossport. The Casque Isles trail
is well signed, well groomed and offers many campsites to
accommodate the numerous visitors who are attracted to
the rugged beauty of Lake Superior. The trail follows the
shoreline of Lake Superior, hopping from bay to bay, and is
divided into five units, with different access points from
Highway 17. These units vary in hiking time and difficulty so
that both the advanced and amateur hikers can enjoy the
scenery. For more information, visit www.terracebay.ca or
the Tourism Information Centre for maps.
Terrace Bay Beach
This huge sandy beach on Lake Superior offers
something for everyone like walking the beach, having
a picnic, or taking in the beautiful Lake Superior waves.
The beach area also features a boat launch which can
accommodate boats with a draft of three feet or less,
and there is a ramp for launching boats up to 22 feet in
length. Terrace Bay Beach has an access point to the
Casque Isles Trail and all season washrooms. Visitors
can also see the majestic Aguasabon Rivermouth.

Terrace Bay Lighthouse and Downtown Shopping Area
The Terrace Bay downtown was given a Lake Superior
makeover in 2011 as part of the $3 million downtown
revitalization project. The downtown features some of the
shops and restaurants that make Terrace Bay great. The
area also features a 50 foot lighthouse to climb and take
in the incredible views of Lake Superior and the Town.
The lighthouse is based on a replica of the tallest
lighthouse on the Great Lakes at the Slate Islands
Provincial Park. It has a realistic winding staircase that
lead to an observation deck with a coin operated viewing
scope to see if you can pick out a caribou at the Slate
Islands shores. See the gorgeous landscaping and talk to
the friendly shop owners before taking in a delicious meal at one of the local restaurants.
The Slate Islands Provincial Park
Terrace Bay
Lake
Superior
Slate
Islands
The Slate Islands Lighthouse is the tallest on Lake Superior standing 224 feet above sea level
The Slate Islands Provincial Park is one of the jewels of the North Shore of Lake Superior! It is
made up of two main islands, five minor islands and numerous islets located 11km across Lake
Superior from Terrace Bay Beach. The islands are believed to have formed over a billion years
ago when a huge asteroid smashed into the earth. The meteor strike has left the Slates with a
10m long shattercone rock formation, which is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world.
The islands cover 36 square kms and are accessible by boat or plane, usually from Terrace Bay
or Rossport. The islands are populated by a variety of species, most notably, the concentrated
presence of Woodland Caribou, whose ancestors crossed from the mainland on winter ice in
1907. The Caribou are lucky to be free of predators on the island and are so used to humans
they will wander into camp sites and eat right out of your hands. The Slate Islands also feature
the highest lighthouse on the Great Lakes and visitors enjoy the hike up to the lighthouse to and
views of Lake Superior. Visit the Charter section for information on visiting the Slate Islands.
