Marathon Parks & Gardens
Although no visitors' facilities exist at this nature reserve, a visit is still worthwhile due to the interesting terrain (high bluffs and kettles). Craig's Pit is located a few km southeast of Marathon.
Within 10 km (6 mi) of Marathon is the Red Sucker Point nature reserve. The park is historically significant because of its ancient lichen communities as well as the excavated rock structures left by prehistoric peoples.
This Lake Superior location is home to roaming woodland caribou, as well as foxes, beavers and shorebirds. There are no visitor’s facilities.
Pukaskwa National Park
Aboriginal people have habitated this area for thousands of years. The terrain of this national park is hilly, with several rock-rimmed lakes. Current research projects include the Pukaskwa Predator/Prey Process Project and other ecosystem studies.
Penn Lake Park
Penn Lake Park is the largest continuous dedicated park space within the town of Marathon. The shallow lake is warm during summer months and is ideal for swimming. Other water activities include kayaking and canoeing. There are picnic spots along the shoreline and trails for hiking and biking. Penn Lake Park also has a campground.
