The Township of Red Rock, named for the bright red cuestas that surround it, is located on the north shore of Lake Superior just south of where the mighty Nipigon River flows into Nipigon Bay. The Red Rock Marina is in the town’s secure harbour of Nipigon Bay, with deep water access from the Simpson Channel. Its breakwall was built as an innovative demonstration of the Lake Superior programs office, intgrating fish and wildlife habitat into a standard breakwall design. Boaters can explore the marina and the bay, where wildlife such as pelicans, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, beavers and otters have been observed. Slightly upstream and across the Nipigon River, view the ancient Indigenous pictographs, still faintly visible on a steep rock formation along the water’s edge.
The onsite amenities are all located within the Red Rock Marina Interpretive Centre, which incorporates interactive exhibits about the town’s natural environment and history. It also houses the Superior Treasures Gift Shop, and a restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch.
