Nicols Cove 2 Camp

Nicols Cove 2 (NC2) is one of two backcountry campsites at Nicols Cove on Lake Superior within Pukaskwa National Park.

The site sits on a well-protected stretch of shoreline that offers paddlers a welcome refuge on Lake Superior's notoriously unpredictable days. A sandy beach provides a comfortable place to rest after a long paddle.

The two Nicols Cove campsites share a location with no dedicated shared amenities, making this a true beach-camping experience.

The cove lies roughly 7 km from the Willow River site to the south and about 13 km from sites to the north, placing it at a useful midpoint along the park's backcountry paddling route.
