This nature reserve is best accessed along the Osprey Clearview Townline where it bends to become Eagle Cresent. There is lots of free street parking available and a large sign to indicate the trailhead. The most interesting features are the extensive crevice caves, which can be accessed by taking the left fork of the main loop trail for about 0.5 km until you reach the Standing Rock side trail. The right arm of the main loop also features a lush forest and several lookouts over the surrounding valley. There was a welcome breeze coming off the escarpment which kept the bugs away for the most part, however they can be a pest deeper into the woods. You can combine the various side trails for a longer hike, lots of options here.

These trails are pretty easy, and a great place to run the kids or the dog. They are well marked, and the views along the way are amazing!

A Must Visit. The Beach is really beautiful and a great place to spend a day with Family and Friends. You can hike, picnic or just sit in front of the clean blue water of Lake Ontario. The biggest challenge here is that weekends can be very busy and you might not find any parking! We would highly recommend this place but be sure to be there early to avoid the parking woes!

Quick stop off the highway, recommend this. Short walk of 5 minutes to SPECTACULAR view of falls, gorge and lake. You could picnic here too, but if time is short, you can see the great view in less than 30 minutes.

Beautiful Long Point beach, but I came here to talk about the fish and chips. So, first, long point is beautiful. Just go, have a drive, walk the beach, do some fishing. What ever you like, it is a prestine, amazing spot to do it. Now, I really came her eto write a review for the Chip Ship food truck. Beautiful fish and chips set on the little canal with boats passing by. The staff are friends, the food is amazing and the setting is perfect. A must if you are in the area.

We specifically came up to Thunder Bay, Ontario for the Amethyst Mine Panorama. It is a working amethyst mine and with admission, they will take you on a short tour that explains how the mine came to be and the history of it. You then get a pail and digging instrument and off you go to collect amethyst rocks. The area is separate from the mining area so it is safe, even for little ones. There is amethyst of various sizes laying all over the ground, you don’t even have to dig for it (but you can dig if you want????). You find the stones and rocks that you like, put them in the pail and when you’re done, you wash and scrub them with a brush. You decide which ones you want to keep, place them in a bag that’s provided and go back to the office. They weigh them for you and charge by the pound. It is so reasonable and that is part of what makes it so fun! They have heavier pieces already lined up for sale if you don’t want to go out into the field. There is also polished stones and jewelry. It is just north of Thunder Bay in the town of Shuniah, Ontario. It is off the highway, just follow the signs. WELL WORTH IT!
10. Journey Behind the Falls

This is a up close look at the falls through the tunnels dug into the rocky Canadian side of the falls. You can view the falls from a open deck and then from two vantage points through openings on the rocky side behind the falls. The thundering sound of the gallons and gallons of water falling is a very unique and humbling experience.
