"Ouiment Canyon For awe-inspiring natural Ontario hidden gems plan a Northern Ontario road trip. Driving along the Trans Canada Highway north you’ll find a wealth of hidden lakes in Ontario, parks, trails, waterfalls, and more! One of these hidden natural wonders is Ouimet Canyon. Considered the ‘Grand Canyon of the North’, Ouimet Canyon is a must add to your list of things to do in Thunder Bay. Located an hour northeast of the city, Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park is a sight to see. The Ouimet Canyon is three kilometres in length, 500 feet wide, and has over 300 feet deep. Geologists say the canyon was created a million years ago when glaciers came through this part of Northern Ontario. FUN FACT: The canyon floor is home to rare Arctic flora that is usually found 1,000 km to the north. Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park is home to an easy 1 km loop trail that takes you through the forest, along a boardwalk, and out to two different epic lookout platforms. You can see both north and south along the canyon and on a clear day you can even see Lake Superior. If you’re looking for more canyon adventures you can visit the nearby Eagle Canyon. Located 15 minutes east of Ouimet, Eagle Canyon Adventures is home to two suspension bridges, one of which is the longest in Canada, as well as Canada’s highest and longest zip line. "

"Ce canyon aux parois escarpées abrite des plantes arctiques et alpines rares. Son sol, formé de blocs rocheux, est en effet souvent recouvert de neige jusqu'à la fin du printemps. Admirez cette nature spectaculaire et humez l'air des profondeurs à partir de deux plate-formes qui offrent des points de vue vertigineux (plus de 100 mètres) sur les gorges, et d'un réseau de sentiers et de promenades. Aucun camping sur place (utilisation de jour seulement)."

"Dorion Geologists believe Ouimet was created 1 billion years ago when glaciers came through Northern Canada, essentially cracking the earth wide open. That would explain why way down at the bottom of this 100-meter-deep canyon there are rare arctic plants thriving when they would normally only be found about 1,000 kilometers north. The canyon itself is pretty spectacular, and at 2 kilometers long and 150 meters wide it’s hard not to be awed by the size. A short hike gets you to the viewing platform for the obligatory photos of the view"
