Mount McKay is an excellent place to go visit there's an actual trail that you can climb to the top I wouldn't recommend it for small children but teens and adults will have great fun climbing the mountain be aware and climb at your own risk, but the views are quite spectacular and it's great exercise you may even see the odd blackbear. The trails not marked so it could take you awhile to find it but it's quite obvious bring water and wear the proper footwear a walking-stick wouldn't be a bad idea have fun and thanks for reading please...

The lookout on Mt. McKay is accessed through the Fort William First Nation's. There is a small fee to drive your vehicle to the lookout at the gate. You can choose to attend a local Powwow or make an excursion to the peak if your healthy and adventurous. The trail up the back side is for experienced & healthy trekkers. The view overlooks Lake Superior and the City of Thunder Bay and offers some exquisite sunset views on the right day. It is a must stop when visiting this North...

It took me a couple of drive bys and finally to ask at a gas station as I forgot my GPS to find the road that goes up to the lookout. It is not at the very top although someone told me that you could get there if you chose to follow a trail. Unfortunately, the trail was too muddy for me to make it to the top. It affords lovely views of Thunder Bay but the lookout that was built for this purpose was taped off at this time. I believe they were doing repairs to this...

If you like a nice climb on your home, this is a fantastic trail. My Fitbit said it was about 43 flights up. Some is nice level home, but most is a reasonable climb through Rocky outcrops. On a nice day, the view from the top is quite nice and it's cleared enough to have a nice view. If you don't like to climb, there is a ramped lookout with a great view of Thunder Bay. There is a fee for going up the mountain.

I decided to stop by while I was vacationing in the area and really enjoyed this place. Darlene at the toll booth was super friendly and we had a great little conversation. I was happy to hear the ticket could be used all day if I wanted to come back (it had started to rain) but luckily the rain didn't last long! The views were awesome. The nearby porta potties were clean. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Can drive half way up the mountain making it accessible for everyone. Wonderful view of sleeping giant, thunderbay airport, lake superior and the thunderbay downtown. Very scenic mountain. Have a few trails that lead to the top, but not maintained. Hard trails with a lot of climbing not suitable for everyone. A big parking area and a beautifully maintained park space adds to the beauty of this place.
