Schreiber Channel

Schreiber Channel runs along the rugged northern shore of Lake Superior, between the mainland and islands that shelter it from the open lake. Copper, Wilson and Healey islands lie along its southern side, while boreal forest grows near the shore. The channel offers a passage west towards Nipigon Bay, whose large islands form a barrier between its sheltered waters and the greater lake. Rocks and shoals among the islands make the choice of a safe course important.
