Ouimet Canyon Road, Dorion, Ontario P0T 2M0, Canada

Ouimet Canyon is a large gorge in the municipality of Dorion, Thunder Bay District in northwestern Ontario, Canada, about 60 kilometres northeast of the city of Thunder Bay. The gorge is 100 metres deep, 150 metres wide and 2,000 metres long, protected as part of Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park. There is a walkway consisting of boardwalks and trails, which leads to viewing platforms overlooking the canyon. Visitors to the canyon should remain on the marked trails for their own safety. Also in the Ouimet Canyon area, there are rare alpine flowers that are considered especially beautiful and arctic plants normally found one thousand kilometres further north. The canyon is shown in the IMAX film North of Superior. The canyon was named after the former railway station of Ouimet, today an unincorporated place and railway point, located nearby on the Canadian Pacific Railway line. The station itself was named after the Canadian Minister of Public Works from 1892 to 1896, Joseph-Aldric Ouimet. Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park, a day-use park with no camping facilities, covers an area of 7.77 square kilometres around the canyon.
