My wife and I visited North Bay in July 2020 and were looking for things to do when so many attractions were closed due to Covid-19. We decided to visit Duchesnay Falls, a short drive outside of the city, and were very impressed with the area. The trails are well marked and you definitely get some exercise climbing from one level of the falls to the next one. It was a hot day, but fortunately the whole area is well shaded. We definitely recommend visiting this area.

What a lovely treasure in North Bay, my family (husband/2 teens) really enjoyed taking a stroll along the boardwalk, seeing all of the boats and admiring the views from the beach. Water is very clean, and beach is as well and not overly crowded. Great backdrop for pictures/selfies. Chip truck in the parking lot, what else could you ask for on a lovely summer evening.

This shopping mall is North Bay's second and largest mall. It is very accessible to Highway 11 which runs right past it on the way north and south. There are a great number of clothing, shoe, jewelry, gift stores, plus electronics, health and fitness, book stores, hair and nail salons, to mention just a few. The Walmart is a large box store which is a favourite of many. The food court is fairly extensive with enough variety to suit most palates. It is clean and bright so if you like walking, you can get a little exercise at the same time as you amble along.

Returned to my hometown recently, and realized how much this place is a jewel. To have a lovely swimming area in a suburb of North Bay is great for families there to enjoy. Big parking lot and canoe lauch availability was important to us too.

Great paved trail connecting the beautiful waterfront with parts of our community. Notably the paceway connects North Bay to Calendar Bay to allow for long leisurely rides. A bike lane was recently painted on Memorial Drive to allow for physical distance and increased volume of use due to Covid 19.
