Cottages and waterfront in Atikokan
Quetico Provincial Park lies just south of town, and nearby drive-to lakes include Eva, Calm, Niobe, Crystal, Nym and Perch lakes and the Seine River chain. The town grew up around iron ore mining at Steep Rock Lake, which ended in the early 1980s. Atikokan General Hospital offers emergency care.
Atikokan is part of Rainy River & Fort Frances. About 4 hours from Winnipeg; 19+ hours from Toronto.
