Neys Provincial Park

Neys Provincial Park is a provincial park of Canada located in Thunder Bay District, stretching across the north shore of Lake Superior with sandy beaches and dense forest. The landscape transitions from open shorelines to thick woodlands, creating varied terrain for exploration.

The park grounds hosted POW Camp 100 during World War II, and remnants from this period remain visible at specific locations. These traces offer insight into a chapter of Canada's wartime history.

Pic Island, visible from the park shores, inspired Group of Seven member Lawren Harris to paint it, connecting this place to Canada's artistic traditions. The island remains an important visual landmark that shapes how visitors experience the waterfront here.

The park is typically accessible from mid-May through mid-October, offering camping facilities and hiking trails for various skill levels. A visitor center provides information and guidance to help plan your time here.

Subarctic plant species thrive within the park, extending their range into this more southern location. Woodland Caribou occasionally pass through the area as part of their natural movement patterns.
