Agawa Canyon

Between June and mid-October the Algoma Central Railway (ACR) runs a particularly delightful excursion from Sault Ste Marie to the Agawa Canyon. The train winds its way along the 183 km / 114 mi of track amidst the mountainous Algoma scenery, taking about 2.5 hours to reach the impressive gorge through which wild, amber-colored water rages and roars (the most striking views are obtained by walking up to the Bridal Veil and the Black Beaver Falls). The journey is at its loveliest in autumn when the leaves are on the turn.

The ACR also runs excursions to the Agawa Canyon in winter, continuing beyond Agawa as far as Eton. This is an opportunity for nature-lovers and photographers alike to revel in the entrancing winter landscape - the trees with their thick caps of snow, the streams and lakes covered with ice, the waterfalls frozen into the strangest shapes.
