Fishing
For brook trout, cast your line in Whitesand River. Lake trout and bass are more likely catches in Whitesand Lake. For lake trout, rainbow trout, salmon and whitefish, head for Lake Superior.

Canoeing
The calm waters of Whitesand Lake are ideal for canoeing and the annual canoe regatta.

Canoes can be rented at Whitesand Lake. Canoes and kayaks can also be rented from outfitters in Rossport.

Wildlife Viewing
Small animals are common, and larger animals such as moose, deer, and black bears sometimes make an appearance.

Boating
Recreational boating is popular on Whitesand Lake. Boaters are requested to avoid the water above the falls and around designated swimming areas. As a safety feature, buoy lines mark these areas.
If you plan to boat on Lake Superior, where larger craft are advised, register beforehand at the Gatehouse.

Swimming
The warm, inland waters of Whitesand Lake and two sandy beaches with designated swimming areas are ideal for family swimming. Only the hardy brave the cold waters of Lake Superior from rocky outcrops and cobblestone beaches at Rossport Campground.
