Thunder Bay Lookout — Attraction in Unorganized Thunder Bay District

What a spectacular brief walk. Once you get there. The access road from paved asphalt is pretty rough in spots. It isn’t terrible road. But pretty bumpy. In sections. 9kms takes 10-15 minutes given the twists and turns on the gravel from main 587 road. It is wide enough most of the way for two vehicles. But quite a few spots with unavoidable wash board and sections of pot holes.

Anyway.

Once you get to the lookout it is less than minute walk to the look out. Jaw dropping. Open grill walk. If you are afraid of heights this will test you!! Approximately a 300 ft elevation. Beautiful vista! So worth the short trip. Around 40 minute diversion from Trans Canada. One way. So many times driving by and always in a hurry to get through and missing so many of the beautiful sites that there are to be seen. Glad I’m taking more time to check these out. Canada is absolutely beautiful. So much to see if we slow down and check this stuff out!! Easy walk. There is an outhouse on site. Hold your nose. Typical outhouse. Still better than nothing. Great spot for a picnic.

The lookout parking lot! Not the...

Decent place with a great view of the Thunder Bay city. It’s located in the sleeping giant provincial park and surrounded by greenery all around. Drive up there is quite nice too. Paved road all the way and a mud/slushy road for about 7-8kms at the end. Anyone who likes off-roading in their daily driver would love this route. There’s parking for around 10 cars on the top. The view is scenic and mesmerizing, with the big lake and beautiful mountains right across. The lookout has a strong base and can hold a large group at a time. Lots of bugs around, so if you’re not comfortable around them better get that bug spray before you go up. No need to buy the park ticket for your car if you’re only visiting the lookout, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that as sleeping giant provincial park has loads of more attractions for all kinds of...
