The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority has eight areas in Thunder Bay under it’s control. Mission Marsh is located on Mission Island and can be accessed via Island Drive and 106th Street. It is a very good area to see the local deer population. It is a popular spot, but the trails are rarely busy. Most [...]

After a long break from hiking, I’m back on the trails. I did this trail on the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, October 13th, 2008 along with my girlfriend Melanie and my daughters dog, Sierra.
Finger Point Lookout trail is located south of Thunder Bay on Highway 61 at the US border, in the Pigeon River Provincial Park. [...]

Another incredible fall day! I’ve strayed a bit farther from home this time. It’s a good half hour drive to what was at one time an active provincial park called Pigeon River. It is now abandoned but hikers are still welcome. Access to the falls is very easy, either through the old [...]

Today’s hike was along the trail in the Mills Forest Block, a Lakehead Region Conservation Area site off of John Street Road. It was overcast and about 15C, great for walking but not the best picture taking weather. The trail runs along a pretty swampy area and then up and around a [...]

A beautiful September day, over 21 C. I dressed too warm for the weather – long pants, long-sleeve shirt, vest and hat. I should have worn shorts and a t-shirt. The trail was wet, but well worth the walk to see Little Falls.
The trail starts at the parking lot of the interpretive [...]

I took my first real hike in my new boots. They seem to be fine, I just have to remember not to make them too tight. I went to the Cascades at the end of Balsam Street. I’ve lived here all my life and had never been there before. I tried to [...]
