Fairbank Provincial Park

Fairbank Park Wa-Shai-Ga-Mog Trail Postcard, Sudbury Canada

Opened in 1957, this 105 hectare provincial park is in the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive. A meteorite made the Proterozoic Eon crater. The 705 hectare spring-fed lake, called Wa-Sha-Ga-Mog (clear lake) by the indigenous Ojibwe, was renamed in 1883.

Camping - RVing: North Central Ontario 2018

Our camping trip led us back to Northern Ontario again in 2018 with stops at the KOA in Sault Ste. Marie, our favourite Provincial Park, Lake Superior (Agawa Bay), and three parks new to us: Wakami Lake, Chutes and Fairbank Lake Provincial Parks.

Despite a fire ban that started on day 3, and lasted the rest of the trip due to the exceptionally dry weather, the camping was amazing. As always Cindy and crew (Ranger) were happy campers and our Ram Copperhead and Flagstaff 26RBWS performed flawlessly on the 3000 km journey.

The KOA in Sault Ste Marie never disappoints - the nicest private campground we've found. And if you want a meal out, the Soo has amazing restaurants. For steak, try Quattro; something simpler - the Burger Don; and to have one of the best pizzas you've ever tasted delivered right to your site, Fratelli's. One of the reasons we always enjoy stopping in the Soo is the food.

Lake Superior Provincial Park is simply amazing - beautiful and remote, the kilometers long beach is lined with fantastically coloured agates (the water is frigid btw, so fair warning there ;), the hiking is picturesque, the visitor's centre is interesting, the Native pictographs facinate and the sunsets dazzle. Truthfully, we could spend weeks here but do keep in mind, the closest stores are in Wawa, 80 kms away. One Note: some of the roads are lined with tall pine trees and can be narrow - we have no trouble with our 26 footer but larger rigs could find some roads/sites challenging.

Heading east, Wakami Lake Provincial Park is very very remote. Chapleau, the closest town, is about a 75 minute drive away. The roads into the park aren't the best and require slower speeds - but its worth the drive.

There is no hydro (electricity) at Wakami which makes the remoteness, quiet solitude and darkness at night that much more palpable. But the lake is large (with no cottages), and clean and many of the sites are waterfront - some, like ours, with great privacy. Fishers will love this park - there's at least two cleaning stations for you and boat docks. The logging exhibit is being rebuilt but is definitely worth the 1 km hike.

Chutes Provincial Park is just off the Trans Canada (Hwy 17) in the town of Massey. The sites are huge, the hiking along the river and its many chutes/rapids is really nice and Manitoulin Island is only an hours drive away. It seemed many RVers used this as a stop over on the trek between the Sault and points south. Note: even though very close to town, bears were active in the park.

Fairbank Lake Provincial Park is about an hour west and north of Sudbury. A quiet park on a beautiful lake (shared with cottagers) it was a peaceful stop with many nice waterfront sites. Note: because of Fairbank's proximity to Sudbury, there are quite a few seasonal campers at this provincial park.

And speaking of Sudbury, Science North and Dynamic Earth and the Big Nickel were definitely worth the visit.

This was a peaceful trip filled with great memories. For us, Lake Superior and Wakami were highlights (for quite different reasons mind you) and it all reminded us that it's true what our licence plates say: Ontario - Yours to Discover.

Fairbank Lake Video

The Sudbury Basin (Ontario, Canada) or Sudbury crater was formed when a meteorite struck the earth over a billion years ago leaving mineral rich deposits that have been mined for many decades. Fairbank Lake (also Fairbanks Lake) was also formed by the impact and has become a well-loved vacation spot for its unique qualities including diverse wildlife and fish species.
Fairbank Lake was written and sung by Phyllis Wheaton at Alchemy Studio in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Instrumentalist and engineer was Jeff Muller.
Fairbank Lake is from Phyllis Wheaton's album The First Song and is available on Itunes.
