Neys Provincial Park on Lake Superior’s north shore combines notable natural, geological, artistic, and wartime history. The park includes the Coldwell Peninsula and islands such as Pic Island, celebrated through Lawren Harris’s 1924 painting. Its shoreline and forests support arctic disjunct plants and a rare herd of woodland caribou. Beneath the landscape, the ancient Coldwell Complex records volcanic formation more than a billion years ago, later exposed by glacial retreat. The park also preserves the memory of Neys Camp 100, which held mostly German prisoners of war and some Japanese Canadians from 1941 to 1946, alongside traces of the vanished community and fishing port of Coldwell.
