We camped at Hattie Cove before starting a three day backpacking trip on the Costal Trail. The Campsites are nicely spaced and it was very quiet night The views on the hiking trail’s are spectacular! There are many options for day hikes as well as multi-day trips We hiked to the White River suspension bridge and continued on to hook falls backcountry campsite. I would definitely recommend staying at this campsite. It had a beautiful view of hook falls

Located on a rugged peninsula of thick forests, several lakes, and high granite cliffs, this scenic wonderland offers nature walks, camping and fishing activities.

Sleeping Giant is a beautiful park with great camping. The water front sites on the peninsula into Marie Louise Lake were stunning, and having your own steps down to the water and views of the giant. You could swim right from your campsite although the water was still cold in August. However, beware that the sites can be very windy which made it a challenge to set up a tent! During our stay we did the Sea Lion hike on one day which was an easy walk to a great view of the sea lion. The next day we did the Top of the Giant hike. This is a full day trip even if you bike, it took us 6-7 hours and we only stopped for a quick lunch at the top. Make sure you get an early start, we started at 9am and the trail wasn't busy, but as we came down from the giant the trail was getting very busy around the noon hour. If you choose to bike in make sure you have a mountain bike and are a confident cyclist as the trail is quite rocky and muddy in areas. The walking it self is very strenuous for just over a km, as it is a straight up climb. This hike is possible to accomplish in a slow and steady manner! Once reaching the top the views are spectacular, but be prepared to work hard to get there. I would definitely like to return to explore more of the park

Very short and easy hike to 2 breathtaking overlooks over the canyon. Really worth it. Plus a little pond at the bottom of the hill where we saw a beaver.

I wish this Park was closer! Staff very friendly during our entire stay. Camped in Whitesand site # 64. so much to do and see here! We rode our bikes all over the campgrounds and people driving were mindful of their speed. Park badges available! Spent over 2 hours kayaking Whitesand Lake....so beautiful and calm. We enjoyed several hikes... Back 40 up to the Lookout is a MUST. Some spots more difficult then others as it is an uphill trail. Rainbow Falls is very pretty for photo taking and the hike includes many steps! We took a right out of the gate onto 17 and found a side road that runs along Superior. Stopped at a beach and walked. Beautiful area.

The site was home to the North West Company in the early 1800s. You are transported back to the period and can view 46 reconstructed buildings on 25 acres of land and learn from period interpreters what life was like in a trading post There are also planned activities throughout the day and we were able to sample homemade bread in the bakery. Additionally there's a visitor center, free wi-fi and virtual shows of the buildings.

This is actually a great place to watch waves of Lake Superior, especially during a stormy day. There is also a trail heading to Prisoner's Cove, where prisoners of war did their logging operations. Their actual fishing boats are still on display.

# min. off Hwy 61 best Gouda cheese anywhere Freshness and flavor unsurpassed I love cheese and eat too much of it. We buy all our curds and ridiculous variety of Gouda. They ship world wide and are busy doing that and that says it all. 10/10 I would give them 11 if it were possible.We are proud of this Thunder Bay gem.

The falls were amazing you could walk on either side and the boardwalk was nice and wide so it would be a great one for everyone and easy access.We went early so it was nice to have the views pretty much to ourselves to enjoy.

The Terry Fox Monument is a beautiful tribute to a real Canadian hero. He continues to be an inspiration to generations of Canadians. As September marks the annual Terry Fox runs throughout Canada and the world for Cancer Research, it was especially fitting that we dropped by the monument on our visit to Thunder Bay. There was a lot of care and attention given here, even to the roadway into the monument area. It affords an excellent view of Thunder Bay and Lake Superior beyond. The monument itself is very special and the plaque detailing the Terry Fox story is important for all to read.

I spent 3 hours at this mine and wish I'd spent more time there. ALL the praise for this mine is true. The many types of beautiful amethyst here are fairly easy to find and don't require much washing. There are also lots of great, professionally cleaned samples for sale at reasonable prices. The owner is a very accomodating, generous, and likeable gentleman. I highly recommend this experience to people of all ages.
