Do the words subarctic and sleeping giant put you off? With thousands of lakes and streams, Northwestern Ontario is heaven to anyone looking to catch that prize trophy size fish. Paddlers and hikers will find no shortage here of wilderness routes, clean waters and ancient forests to explore. At Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, a peninsula of Lake Superior, visitors will overlook the largest freshwater lake in the world from the cusp of this rocky giant. A float plane can land you on the doorstep of a remote resort or following the path of a guide into the wilderness. The largest population center in this region is Thunder Bay, where natural wonders like Kakabeka Falls can be explored after a day of canoeing, wind surfing or skiing.
