Algoma Canyon Excursions Have Resumed

The fabled Agawa Canyon excursion train resumed operations last month between Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and Agawa Canyon Park.

The 113-mile excursions are now operated by short line holding company Watco, which earlier this year acquired the former Algoma Central route from Canadian National.

The Agawa Canyon train was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and made a limited number of trips in fall 2021. The first 2022 train ran on Aug. 1.

The 10-hour excursion passes lakes, rivers and splendid scenery as it traverses more than 800 curves in the Canadian wilderness.

The trip includes a 90-minute layover in Agawa Canyon Park.
