On June 30, 1983, the Hattie cove camping and day use facilities will be operational. The 67-site campground includes 29 electrical and 3 walk-in sites. Each of the two major camping loops of- fer a comfort station, central garbage building and firewood shed. Reg- ular campsite fees are $5.75 and electrical sites are $7.75. For the day-user, there's a lot to do and facilities are free. Puk- _ askwa is representative of the Canadian Shield. The landscape is one of fractured volcanic rock hummocks and cliffs in- dented by patches of the boreal forest. The land speaks of ancient his- tory, explorers and hardships. Short scenic trails in the cove area are designed too help you explore this fascin- ating landscape and we are hoping that all visi- tors will take time to drop into the visitor centre to chat with an attendant and view the exhibits. There are _ several beaches in the vicinity of Hattie Cove. Ali are unsupervised and all but one are located on the Superior shoreline. The one exception is a small area in Hattie Cove where the water tends to be somewhat warmer. A changehouse and picnic facilities are located near-by. For those interested in canoeing, one can "put-in" at the visitor centre and then savor the better part of a day paddling the protected cove waters and explor- ing the islands and in- lets of Pulpwood Har- bour. Caution must be exercised whenever on or near Lake Superior. Even in mid-summer, the lake is terribly cold. An unexpected dip could prove to be a disastrous experience. Work will begin in the near future on a_ boat launching facility. If you wish, small craft can be pulled up on the Hattie Cove beach adjacent to the campground.

For those venturing beyond Hattie Cove,the Coastal Hiking Trail winds its way south through the shield coun- try to the North Swallow River (60 km).
