Explore Lake Superior with Ease at the Silver Harbour Boat Launch
Lake Superior offers infinite recreation possibilities and Silver Harbour is the ticket to this natural playground of Northern Ontario. At the Silver Harbour Conservation Area, recreational boaters utilize the two long and wide, concrete launching ramps and three fixed courtesy docks.
The Silver Harbour Scuba Park is perfect for divers of all experience levels. Practice your navigation skills while exploring the wrecks and stunning mermaid statues donated by local Artist Luc Despres.
Prior to its designation as a Conservation Area, Silver Harbour was one of many sites explored for silver in the Thunder Bay area during the late 1800s. During the 1940s, the site was extensively quarried for armor stone because of its durability and resistance to weathering. The rock was loaded onto barges and shipped to the Thunder Bay harbour for use in the formation of the existing breakwater.
