This site is located along the costal hiking trail at Lake Superior Provincial Park Agawa campground, about an hour south of Wawa along the Trans Canada. I’m not sure what exactly they where used for, but my dad who is retired MNR seems to think they where lodges used for staff who worked at the campground at some point in the 50’s to early 60’s.
There is the main two story lodge with a basement which includes many rooms, a large kitchen, front deck, cobblestone floor and fireplace. There is also one smaller cabin located outside near by which appears to be a two room bunkhouse with a small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bath room in each.
Around the area is also a flag pole, a few foundations, a small utility shack, a beached boat and some other random scrap junk. These buildings are barely off of the beach in the open so they are easy to see for anyone walking up the beach far enough, or taking the full length costal trail. There is also a road from the main lodge straight up to the main highway which has a small area for two cars to park at. This is located just before the entrance into Agawa when coming from Wawa.
This is a must see for those in the area

I last visited this site about 8 years ago, surprised to see it still standing in almost the same condition. Love the fireplace. Somewhere here in my records, I am sure I have the history of this place, see what I can find. There was also a cabin/cottage slightly to the north of the two-story lodge. A fabulous place to explore and to enjoy the power of Lake Superior. Thanks for posting this p
