Marathon

Marathon has served as a forestry and mining community on Ontario’s Lake Superior shore since the mid-20th century. Set along the Trans-Canada Highway on the northern coast of the world’s largest freshwater lake by surface area, the town is backed by the forested Canadian Shield. Its modern identity was shaped by pulp-and-paper operations and, later, the Hemlo gold-mining district northwest of town. Lake Superior’s cold-water coastline and the nearby wilderness of Pukaskwa National Park place Marathon within a broad stretch of protected and working northern landscape.
