One of the largest provincial parks in Ontario
History
Lake Superior Provincial Park is a beautiful wilderness park located in Ontario, Canada. Spanning an area of approximately 1,550 square kilometers (600 square miles), it is situated on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes. The park's history is rich and diverse, with evidence of human presence dating back thousands of years.
The region that is now Lake Superior Provincial Park has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples for millennia. The Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) people have ancestral connections to the area, and their cultural presence can be traced back at least 7,000 years. They utilized the resources of the land and water, engaging in fishing, hunting, and gathering activities.
European exploration and fur trade in the area began in the 17th century when French fur traders, known as voyageurs, established trading posts along the shores of Lake Superior. They exchanged goods such as furs, metal tools, and firearms with the Indigenous peoples.
