LAKE SUPERIOR PROVINCIAL PARK
Rabbit Blanket Lake Campground
Lake Superior Provincial Park is one of the largest provincial parks in Ontario, covering about 1,550 square kilometres (600 sq mi) along the northeastern shores of Lake Superior between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa in Algoma District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. When the park was established by Ontario in 1944, there was no road access. Rabbit Blanket Lake Campground sits beside a pristine inland lake, has clean comfort stations and hosts Defeat the Peat Trail Race. Reserve your site today (link above)
PEAT MOUNTAIN
Where you will be tested
Peat Mountain sits in the northern reaches of Ontario's Lake Superior Provincial Park on the eastern shore of Lake Superior. The mountain takes its name from a moss known as Sphagnum, more commonly known as Peat Moss which is very common in the lowland bogs surrounding the mountain. Peat Mountain is over 1500 ft high. Good luck!
