Batchawana Bay Provincial Park, Provincial park with sandy beach on Lake Superior in Algoma District, Canada.
Batchawana Bay Provincial Park is a day-use recreational area along Lake Superior featuring a sandy beach with shallow water. The park provides open spaces for swimming, picnicking, and enjoying the shoreline in a natural setting.
The park was established by Ontario in 1973 as a public day-use recreational area. This creation helped open Lake Superior's shoreline to visitors seeking beach and water access.
The park stands near Chippewa Falls, where a plaque marks the midpoint of the Trans-Canada Highway, connecting the nation from coast to coast.
The park is open from May through October and sits along Highway 17, about 40 kilometers north of Sault Ste. Marie. Parking and picnic facilities are available on-site, making visits straightforward to plan.
The waters at Batchawana Bay are warmer than elsewhere in Lake Superior, making swimming more comfortable during summer months. This temperature difference draws visitors seeking a more pleasant water experience.
