What to do on a warm summer evening. . .
yooperprof Says: Take a stroll through the city of Wawa (Haha) and end up at the Handy Store for some good hard ice cream.
yooperprof Says: Good for swimming. Excellent fishing. Ideal for boating. Jet ski fun! And just plain nice to look at.
yooperprof Says: A short drive off the main highway, the Upper Falls of the Magpie River are adjacent to a pleasant picnic area. The width of the falls is 125 feet, and they have a drop of 75 feet.

North of 17 Restaurant: Standard Small-Town Eatery
Babzz Says: This restaurant was recommended to us by the receptionist at our motel. Standard diner food. Restaurant states that it specialises in steaks, ribs, and pizza. Decent selection of pizzas. I was sceptical of the steak, but I imagine the ribs would be alright. Several pasta...
Columbia Restaurant & Pizzeria: Okay pizza
yooperprof Says: I'm always glad when I travel to patronize locally owned, non-chain establishments, especially for pizza. So I was glad to go to an authentic Wawa pizzeria. That said, I wasn't really that thrilled with the pie I ordered. The crust was satisfactory, though a bit on the...
yooperprof Says: "This plaque stands approximately at the halfway point of the Trans-Canada Highway, which runs from St. John's Newfoundland to Victoria British Columbia. The highway's construction, in conjunction with the provinces, was authorized by the federal parliament in 1949. The...
yooperprof Says: Wawa Lake is a convenient spot to fly into town - if you have a bi-plane! (I wonder if there are any landing fees?)
yooperprof Says: Road Construction is a constant in the life of northwoods communities. (Where I live, we have a saying that there are only two seasons in the year, Winter and Road Construction.)When I drove the Lake Superior Circle Routes, it seemed as if every hundred miles that traffic...
Rainbow Gifts: Dorothy Gales's Store?
yooperprof Says: Lots of knick-knacks, tschoskes, and pot-holders here. I was able to purchase some refrigerator magnets and postcards in this friendly emporium.

Tourist Information Centre - Closed for the Season
Stephen-KarenConn Says: The first thing we saw when we exited the Trans-Canada Highway at Wawa was the famous Goose Monument and an attractive red roofed Tourist Information Centre beside it. Wawa advertises itself as a year-round tourist destination, with many special events and activities to lure...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: All along the Trans-Canada Highway in Northern Ontario you will see signs warning of moose crossing the road. Caution should be used, especially at night when the moose are more active and visibility is limited. Shortly after we left Wawa, driving northwest, A HUGE moose...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: After viewing the Upper Falls, take the short steep narrow trail downstream from the bridge and you will find the lower falls. This impressive cascade empties into a very wide area on the Magpie River where we saw loons and other waterfowl. Just below this spot the Magpie...
Stephen-KarenConn Says: We expected Magpie Scenic High Falls to be an impressive sight, and it even exceeded our expectations. These roaring falls, 75 feet high and 125 feet wide, plunge into a rugged gorge that slices at an angle from the base of the falls. The scene is an enormous display of...
Helpfulness
The big event, every August! The Salmon Derby is headquartered at the Marina in Michipicoten Harbor.
Written Oct 25, 2005
yooperprof Says: This shiny red drill commemorates the many significant mines that have operated in and near Wawa over the last century. (There's still excavating for small quantities of gold in the outlying district.)
yooperprof Says: The Michipicoten Canoe Route"The nearby Michipicoten River formed an important link in the canoe route from Lake Superior to James Bay via the Michipicoten, Missinaibi and Moose rivers. The route was probably explored at an early date by the French fur traders who maintained...
yooperprof Says: Old Woman Bay is an especially lovely narbor harbor about 15 miles south of Wawa, in Lake Superior Provincial Park. It's easy to spend a lazy afternoon here.
yooperprof Says: The marina is located in the hamlet of Michipicoten, which is about a mile below the town where the Magpie River enters Lake Superior. No big ocean-going yachts here - just small craft suitable for a turn on the lake.
