Thessalon is a beautiful town on the North Shore of Lake Huron with many conveniences including 2 sand beaches, a marina, the Thessalon River, grocery store, hospital, shops, and many other local attractions and events.

Great spot!

Great location to serve as a home base for day trips in the Algoma district. House was clean and host provided several nice welcome gifts. Aubrey Falls on the Mississagi River and Boom Camp trails in Blind River were great.
