Welcome to Nipigon
The community of Nipigon is "Nestled in Nature." Located in the heart of the Canadian Shield on the northern most point of Lake Superior. Nipigon is situated on the shore of the great Nipigon River that flows from Lake Nipigon to Lake Superior.
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, there is plenty to do and see in Nipigon and the surrounding area. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and ice climbing are just a few local winter activities. After the snow & ice are gone, boating, fishing, hiking, and camping draw people from around the world to this scenic center of Canada.
