The entourage at Ramsey Lake

The city of Sudbury itself has a lake - Ramsey Lake. This lake is very popular with the residents and the visitors alike. There is a cruise boat on the lake that we missed and several kms of pathway along the lake for hiking and jogging that we thoroughly used.

The men and children in our entourage played cricket, which was very much enjoyed by the other visitors, although I doubt they understood the game. The city has its hockey team called Sudbury Wolves.

There is Science North Museum in the neighborhood. The building of the museum can be seen from the lake.

Directions: On Higway 69, take exit to Sudbury (Paris Road) and continue driving till you reach the lake. Parking is at the beginning of the lake through a narrow entrance that can be easily missed.

	Can't miss

Seeing the slap being dumped from the mines is something like you'll never see anywhere else. It looks like lava flowing out of a volcano.

This is something that you can only see once a week at night.
