Algoma Mills (Township of the North Shore)

You are here: Home / Community Profiles / Communities / Algoma Mills (Township of the North Shore)

Dotted with lakes and rivers, the Township of the North Shore is known for its natural scenic beauty, a virtual photographer’s paradise. The Township is home to three village areas along the Trail; Serpent River, Spragge and Algoma Mills, each with amenities for travellers to rest and refuel, including a campground in Serpent River and a restaurant in Spragge. Algoma Mills, the civic centre of the Township, offers a full service resort, a locally famous fish market, and a market directly off-Trail that offers ice cream, locally roasted fairtrade coffee, delicious local baked goods, and other grocery items, making for an ideal rest stop.

In the North Shore, you’ll find plenty of reasons to get out and get up close to nature. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, hiker, angler or paddler, you’ll find you won’t have to travel far to hit a local trail, explore chains of lakes, tackle some world-class fishing, enjoy a quiet northern beach, or get out into the wild spaces and take the prize photo that unfortunately will never quite capture the experience of it all.
