Lake Superior Circle Tour - Day 3: Paddle To The Sea Park in Nipigon

Cameron and Daddy read Paddle to the Sea earlier this year.  If you haven't read it, you should go buy a copy right now. It is a very moving book, especially if you have ever lived near the Great Lakes or simply have put your trust in strangers to help achieve your dreams. 

In the planning of this trip, we talked about stopping in Nipigon just because of the book.  We didn't know that there was a really neat park dedicated to the book there until we saw a billboard on our way to Thunder Bay.  Naturally, there weren't any signs in Nipigon about it, so we drove past the entire town and had to make the decision to turn around.

We were really glad we did.

Cameron was so excited to be there.

 The hill that Paddle sat had a waterfall on the back, just like the one he rode down as the snow started to melt.

There were a lot of stations to play on that were designed to present a chapter from the book.

One of our favorites was the Marsh.

Self timer!

There were two other parts of the park scattered throughout Nipigon. The Forest Fire was another really neat part.

At last, Paddle makes it to the sea.

The Nipigon Marina was beautiful.

We are here!

Love,
Ainsley, Ben, and Cameron
