Mississagi River

Mississagi River is a 266 kilometres long river that originates in the Sudbury District and flows into Lake Huron at Blind River. Its scenic views make it the perfect place to spend a relaxing day with friends and family. You can go canoeing, have a picnic, bike and even go hiking in the area. With the low angling pressure of the water, this spot is also great for fishing!

The Boom Camp Trails

Home to the Blind River Cross Country Ski Club, this beautiful park is both a breathtaking view of the town’s nature and a reflection of its history of over 600 years. Supported by archaeological evidence and oral traditions of the Mississauga First Nation support, it is believed to have been a gathering place for some of the earliest First Nation communities. 

It is also one point that allows access to the Mississagi River. The 12 km long trails are made up of 3 loops; Harbour Loop, Woodland Loop and Delta Loop, each separated by distinct interpretive signage outlining the area’s history. The use of the trails evolves with the seasons; in the winter, they are prepared for cross-country skiing, and in the spring, summer and fall, they are perfect for those that want to hike and bike. Having gone through many functional changes over the years, it remains an integral part of life in the town.

Blind River Public Library 

One of the oldest amenities in the town, the library was opened to the public in 1926 and has since moved and expanded multiple times to finally find a home in a historically significant building in 2000. 

8 Woodward, the building, had been a Post Office, Town Hall, Customs Office, Public Health Unit, Courthouse, School Board office and even a jail at different times. Even though it has been renovated, the building reflects the Town’s history and stands as a monument for residents and visitors.
