The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or nearby and fees may apply. Things to see and do in the area:
- About 25km west of Thunder Bay, just off Hwy 11-17, is Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park. The spectacular 40m waterfall is the source of many local legends. The moody chute is at its best after the thaw in early spring and it gushes year-round after heavy rains.
- The Terry Fox Memorial should be your first stop in town - both to visit the valuable information center, and to learn about one of Canada's great heroes.
- French voyageurs, Scottish gentlemen and Ojibwe scuttle about while re-enacting life in the early 1800s at this historical park. From 1803 to 1821, Fort William was the headquarters of the North West Company. Eventually the business was absorbed by the Hudson Bay Company and the region’s importance as a trading center declined. Today, the large heritage center offers 42 historic buildings stuffed with entertaining and antiquated props like muskets, pelts and birch-bark canoes.
- This 100-year-old museum has enough quirks and gadgets to keep adults interested and children entertained. The well-presented artifacts offer visitors a glimpse of the region’s 10,000 years of human history by incorporating displays about Ojibwe culture, fur trading, military history and recent developments.
- Visit the mine, 40km east of Thunder Bay, and dig for your very own purple chunk of amethyst, Ontario’s official gemstone. While pulling into the parking lot, you may notice that the gravel has a faint indigo hue – a testament to the fact that the area is truly overflowing with these semiprecious pieces.
