Neys Provincial Park | Ontario

Neys Provincial Park is a natural environment park on Lake Superior's north shore near Terrace Bay, with seasonal camping, roofed accommodation, day use, beaches, hiking, paddling, fishing, and history. Ontario Parks lists the park at 5,475 hectares, established in 1965.

The park combines big Lake Superior scenery with a distinctive cultural-history angle. It is a strong stop for travellers who want shoreline camping, beach time, trails, and a deeper story than scenery alone.

Why Visit Neys Provincial Park

Ontario Parks highlights one of the finest sand beaches on Lake Superior's north shore, a Visitor Centre model of a former prisoner-of-war camp, the actual remains of POW Camp 100, and views of Pic Island, a landscape painted by Lawren Harris of the Group of Seven.

The natural side is just as strong. Ontario Parks notes sub-Arctic plants, a chance to see elusive Woodland Caribou, pristine Lake Superior shoreline paddling for novice or experienced paddlers, and trails through ecosystems, flora, fauna, and geological formations.

Things To Do

Plan around car camping, roofed accommodation, swimming when conditions allow, beach walking, Lake Superior paddling, fishing, hiking, Visitor Centre stops, POW Camp 100 history, Pic Island views, plant and wildlife observation, and photography.
