Agawa Canyon, Wilderness canyon in Algoma District, Canada.
The canyon walls rise 175 meters above the Agawa River, featuring four waterfalls and dense forests of the Canadian Shield landscape.
The canyon formed 1.2 billion years ago through faulting along the Canadian Shield and expanded through the continuous erosion by the Agawa River.
The Group of Seven artists traveled by railway boxcars between 1918 and 1923 to paint the natural landscapes of the Agawa Canyon region.
Visitors can access the canyon exclusively via hiking trails or the Agawa Canyon Tour Train, which departs daily from Sault Ste. Marie.
Winter conditions bring over 450 centimeters of annual snowfall, creating opportunities for ice climbing on the frozen canyon walls.
