Jackfish, Ontario

Jackfish is a ghost town in northern Ontario, Canada, located on the north shore of Lake Superior east of Terrace Bay.

With its location as a railway siding, along a beach area, amongst Lake Superior's otherwise rocky shoreline, Jackfish became a port of commercial fishing.

With the increased activity of steam locomotives shunting cars around, a large water tower was located near the railway tracks.

The Lakeview Hotel at Jackfish, built at the end of the 19th century, remained a popular stopping place during the summer for a number of years.

The siding is part of the operating infrastructure making up the,[7] a defined piece of track which extends from White River to Schreiber, Ontario.
