Powder Islands

When one thinks of iconic landscapes in Ontario, Lake Superior is one of the great many that come to mind. With its majestic water, plentiful forests and bounty of life, Lake Superior is supremely Canadian and a true representation of northern Ontario. The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) recently acquired a key site in Lake Superior, the 399 acre (161.5 hectares) Powder Islands. Take a virtual tour of these islands, which are almost completely dominated by Lake Superior coastal forests.
