Pancake Bay Provincial Park, Provincial park on Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada
The park extends over 17 square kilometers of protected land featuring a 3-kilometer sand beach along the northern shore of Lake Superior.
The area gained its name during the fur trading period when travelers from Fort William stopped here to prepare pancakes due to food shortages.
The Edmund Fitzgerald Lookout platform presents views of Whitefish Point, marking the location where the famous freighter sank in Lake Superior in 1975.
The park maintains 328 campsites, including 70 with electrical connections, plus comfort stations with showers, laundry facilities, and a store for visitors.
The shallow waters and sand composition of the 5.5-kilometer beach create warmer swimming conditions compared to other areas of Lake Superior.
