Why travel abroad for a life-changing experience when one of Canada’s most breathtaking adventures is waiting right here in Ontario?
The Agawa Canyon Tour Train, a designated Canadian Signature Experience by Destination Canada, offers an unforgettable fall journey through some of the province’s most stunning landscapes.
Departing from the historic Canal District in downtown Sault Ste. Marie, this scenic train ride takes you on a 366-kilometre round trip through towering forests, alongside ancient granite rock formations, and over majestic canyons.
The journey descends 500 feet into the heart of Agawa Canyon, a hidden gem only accessible by rail. As you wind through these rugged landscapes, an immersive audio-guided tour provides fascinating insights into the region’s history and its connection to The Group of Seven, whose famous paintings captured the very scenes you’ll witness.
Onboard, a GPS triggered commentary, available in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin, shares the story of the region.
Travellers will learn about upcoming points of interest and the rich history of the Ojibway, fur traders, explorers, and entrepreneurs that once opened up this vast expanse of wilderness.
Once you arrive at Agawa Canyon Park, step off the train and explore for 90 minutes. You’ll have plenty of time to picnic, hike scenic trails, visit hidden waterfalls, or hike to a lookout 250 feet above the canyon floor for a panoramic view that will leave you in awe. The park, untouched by roads and only accessible by train, offers an exclusive experience for adventurers of all ages.
Whether you visit during the lush, green summer or the dazzling peak of fall colours, the Agawa Canyon Tour Train promises a unique and unforgettable journey. The fall season, in particular, transforms the landscape into a vivid tapestry of red, orange, and yellow, making it a bucket-list trip for those who want to experience Ontario’s natural beauty at its finest.
Running from August 1 to October 15, the tour spans ten hours, with four hours up to the canyon, a 90-minute stop at the park, and a scenic 4.5-hour return trip to Sault Ste. Marie. It’s a perfect way to spend a day with family or friends, taking in the crisp Northern Ontario air and soaking in the unforgettable scenery.
