Paddle to the Sea Park
Mascot Maurice the Moose in the Paddle to the Sea Park
The interactive Paddle-to-the-Sea Park in Downtown Nipigon is a beautiul place to visit. It's twelve play stations lead visitors from the Downtown Shopping area to the fully serviced Marina, providing a safe place for children to work off their energy.
The award winning book "Paddle-to-the-Sea" was written in 1941 by Holling C. Holling who visited Nipigon before putting ink to the page. In the story, a young Indian boy who dreams of visiting the ocean carves a wooden canoe, or ‘paddle-person’, who travels the Great Lakes and reaches the sea in his stead. The park has been built in our small town because the famous story of Paddle-to-the-Sea starts on the Nipigon River.
The story inspired Canadian canoeist and film maker Bill Mason to create the celebrated National Film Board film of the same name.
