Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area
Imagine a landscape where wind and waves caress the shores of tranquil sheltered bays and endless rugged coastlines - a place where a myriad of shipwrecks lay strewn on the lake floor offering silent testimony to the powers of Superior. The Anishinaabe people of this region have called the place gichigamiing or "The Big Lake" and have lived on its shores for thousands of years, respecting the strength of the waters and the bounty of the lands.
Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area is a site so vast that, once established, it will be one of the largest freshwater protected areas in the world. Come fish, kayak and swim in her waves, hike her trails in search of waterfowl, migratory songbirds and wildlife and feel the grip of nature.
