Since 1992, Echo Bay has been home to its famous Loon Dollar Monument. It was constructed to honour wildlife artist Robert R. Carmichael, a village resident and artist responsible for the coin’s loon design.

Carmichael created a symbol that Canadians and others around the world associate with untouched wilderness and, by association, a healthy environment. The monument has two picnic benches and is a great place to stop and unwind.
