Pancake Bay Provincial Park feels the love

For Wild Northerner

What’s Pancake Bay’s secret? Is it the white, sugary sand? The Caribbean blue-and-turquoise waters? The expansive views across Lake Superior from the beach, or high above from the Edmund Fitzgerald Lookout?

Actually, it seems to be all of the above and more. For the sixth year in a row, Pancake Bay Provincial Park has been named one of the “Best of the Lake” in Lake Superior Magazine’s annual Reader’s Survey.

Readers of the popular magazine pick their favourites across 12 categories each year, which the magazine publishes in a special issue: The Lake Superior Travel Guide. Winners are selected from each of the three states and one province that border Lake Superior.
