Rock Island Lodge

Top choice in Northern Ontario


Naturally Superior Adventures' lodge sits along Lake Superior between a craggy expanse of stone and smooth, sandy beach. The four basic rooms are spotless and comfortable, and those on a budget can 'glamp' in the geo-dome tents on a raised platform with a queen-size bed. There's a beautiful guest kitchen and lounge, as well as wi-fi, but no TV.

Turn off Hwy 17 around 6.5km south of Wawa, toward Michipicoten River Village, to reach the lodge.
