Stop between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie

We will be leaving SSM in early afternoon to drive the north shore of Superior. Where is a good place to stop for the night? We will have been in the UP for a week and are wandering (west) home. I expect this will be very scenic. Anyone familiar with the road have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. CJ

The only real choices are Wawa, about 3 hrs from the Sault, and Marathon, about 2 hrs beyond Wawa.

Lake Superior Provincial Park is exceptionally scenic. It is worth spending at least an afternoon and easily a couple of days if you're into hiking, exploring, photography, etc. You could then spend the night just a bit up the highway in the town of Wawa which has a number of motels and a few restaurants plus a scenic waterfall nearby. It has been years since we drove beyond Wawa, but I seem to remember that most communities between Wawa and Thunder Bay were quite small. Marathon which is just over halfway is another possibility although I don't remember much about the town. There are some additional scenic Provincial Parks on the way to Thunder Bay including Ouimet Canyon and Sleeping Giant.
