Thunder Bay at a Glance
Set on the shores of Lake Superior, Thunder Bay is located in northwestern Ontario,
51.5 km (32 mi) from the Canadian/US border. The City by the Bay draws visitors
to its bounty of natural attractions, which include marvels such as the distinctive
Sleeping
Giant rock formation and the thundering Kakabeka
Falls. An abundance of winter snowfall makes both Nordic and alpine skiing
and snowmobiling popular outdoor pastimes. A Finnish sauna is often the reward
for a day well recreated. Thunder Bay also serves as a starting point for hunters,
anglers and canoeists preparing to tackle the Ontario wilderness. Once one of
the world's largest fur trading posts, Fort
William Historical Park now serves as a portal back in time due to the intriguing
living history presentations. The Terry
Fox Memorial marks the spot where the young hero was forced to end his ambitious
cross-Canada run—which is emulated across Canada
to this day—due to the progression of his own illness.
