"Pancake
Bay Provincial Park was established in 1968 by Ontario
Parks. It is a recreation-class Provincial Park created to help preserve
the fragile beach dune ecology. Pancake Bay Provincial Park has one
of the highest visitor rates of all the Provincial Parks in the north-east
region, and the highest number of campsites. There are 325 campsites,
including 160 with electricity. There are 3 comfort stations."
(Note: The two RV Gypsies did not park their RV here, they were in their
toad. It did cost to enter the park, even for a few minutes. |

"Pancake Bay
is a sheltered, south-facing bay on the eastern shore of Lake Superior,
north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. A beautiful sand beach lines
the bay, part of which are within the park boundary. The bay is sand
filled and shallow. This feature is responsible for warming the lake
water providing pleasant swimming, but the two RV Gypsies did not swim
in the lake this time. Ancient beach ridges are visible more inland.
The ecology of the region is characteristic of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence transition forest, but is a northern shelter for more
southerly flora and fauna." |
