... that the Steel River, in Northern Ontario, Canada, is one of the few rivers along Lake Superior's north shore never used for log drives? Source: Ref. #2 ("One of the few north shore rivers never used for log drives")

A little work needed yet. Earwig is flagging one of the few north shore rivers never used for log drives as close paraphrasing the source; it should be reworded. Article prose says the park was established in 1985, while the infobox for the park says 1989. "It empties into the north shore of Lake Superior east of Terrace Bay" does not appear to be cited anywhere, and Punchard and Santoy are mentioned in the infobox but not cited anywhere. Otherwise, it meets the expansion requirements, a QPQ has been done, the hook meets the criteria, and the article is otherwise compliant. Good work on expanding this one.

Thanks @Hog Farm: for your review. Somewhat reworded the phrase, fixed the year (good catch!), and a reference added in first paragraph. As for Punchard and Santoy Lakes in the infobox, I feel that these are simple verifiable facts that shouldn't need to be cited. Regards, P 1 9 9 ✉ 23:50, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
