Thunder Bay, also called Lakehead, is situated at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River on Lake Superior. It is one of Canada’s busiest ports and is a bustling city surrounded by the beautiful wilderness of northwest Canada. To learn about its transportation history, plan a visit to Alexander Henry Museum Ship. Prince Arthur’s Landing has many interesting sculptures which provide insights into the history of Thunder Bay. The beautiful murals in the graffiti alley on Cooke Street are sure to be a delight. You can take in views of sailboats and ocean liners making their way in and out as you grab a meal on the oceanfront. Enjoy spectacular views of the city from the top of Mount McKay.
