3. Sleeping Giant Provincial Park

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

We specifically came up to Thunder Bay, Ontario for the Amethyst Mine Panorama. It is a working amethyst mine and with admission, they will take you on a short tour that explains how the mine came to be and the history of it. You then get a pail and digging instrument and off you go to collect amethyst rocks. The area is separate from the mining area so it is safe, even for little ones. There is amethyst of various sizes laying all over the ground, you don’t even have to dig for it (but you can dig if you want????). You find the stones and rocks that you like, put them in the pail and when you’re done, you wash and scrub them with a brush. You decide which ones you want to keep, place them in a bag that’s provided and go back to the office. They weigh them for you and charge by the pound. It is so reasonable and that is part of what makes it so fun! They have heavier pieces already lined up for sale if you don’t want to go out into the field. There is also polished stones and jewelry. It is just north of Thunder Bay in the town of Shuniah, Ontario. It is off the highway, just follow the signs. WELL WORTH IT!
5. Eagle Canyon Adventures

The admission fee is worth it! This is like Ouimet Canyon, but with water underneath it. The rocks of the canyon also look like art. The suspension bridge is surprisingly not that thrilling (despite the length) probably because the bridge is really rigid or maybe because we were the only people in the park when we visited. The smaller bridge felt like an actual suspension walkway than the larger one.
