Agawa Canyon is World Famous for it's rugged beauty and the Chapleau Wildlife Preserve is the World's Largest Wildlife Sanctuary. These two great natural attractions are connected by the Algoma Central Railway for a unique 2 day rail excursion.
Board the Agawa Tour Train in Sault Ste. Marie at 8:00 a.m. and enjoy the hardwood forests of southern Algoma on your way to Agawa Canyon. The towering cliffs, sparkling waterfalls and the beautiful serenity of the Canyon will delight you during your 2 hour stopover at Agawa Canyon.
At about 1:30 p.m. catch the Algoma Central Railway's passenger train and continue north into the boreal forest of northern Algoma. Late in the afternoon you will reach Lake Wabatongushi, the second largest lake in the Chapleau Wildlife Preserve. There you will be met by Al Errington and taken on a 15 minute boat ride to Errington's Wilderness Island Resort where you can

After you settle into your very comfortable suite, enjoy a delicious dinner in our licensed dining room. After dinner you can relax around the resort, go for a walk on some of our nature trails, or enjoy a guided boat tour of Lake Wabatongushi for wildlife viewing.
There has been no hunting or trapping inside this 3,000 sq mile (7,000 sq km) wildlife sanctuary since 1925 and you have a good chance of seeing wildlife in their native habitat such as moose, black bear, bald eagles and Loons. After returning to the resort, relax and let the haunting cries of the Loons lull you to sleep.
Next morning enjoy a sumptuous breakfast, then do a little more exploring of the area either on your own or on another guided tour. Around 11:00 a.m. we will bring you to meet the passenger train for the scenic return journey to Sault Ste. Marie.
