We camped at Hattie Cove before starting a three day backpacking trip on the Costal Trail. The Campsites are nicely spaced and it was very quiet night The views on the hiking trail’s are spectacular! There are many options for day hikes as well as multi-day trips We hiked to the White River suspension bridge and continued on to hook falls backcountry campsite. I would definitely recommend staying at this campsite. It had a beautiful view of hook falls
2. Ruby Lake Provincial Park

We, too, had heard about this lovely hike from locals. The various reviews helped us confidently find the road off the highway (about 7.5 km east of the Nipigon Birdge), and the parking spot 3.5 km down the gravel road. The path through the woods to the right is easy to travel, and at about 2.3 km some bright pink tape marks the path out to the lake. The views are beautiful, especially in the fall, where the contrast of the yellow birch, aspen and tamarack against the dramatic blue of the water is a painter's inspiration. The trail does continue, south along the cliff above the lake, and we found it to be well-marked at intervals with more pink tape on the odd tree. There are more spectacular views of Ruby Lake, and Lake Superior, as well as some vertiginous views back to the various cliff faces along Ruby Lake. If you carry on following the well-worn (and well-marked) trail, you will end up on a road that comes through the quarry, and back to the parking spot. The tape markings are not on the road, but it brings you directly north, through the old marble quarry. You shouldn't get lost. In total, with stops to admire the numerous views, the hike took us 2 hours. Enjoy!

I frequent the conservatory on a fairly regular basis and I leave happy, peaceful and relaxed every time. I love going during the different seasons especially winter as Thunder Bay is well known for them (burrrr!). I go with friends or by myself, I've had picnics there and have made some wonderful memories. I'm always excited to go back!
5. Cascades Conservation Area

Reviewed By FirstCircle - Thunder Bay, Canada
Nature abounds in Thunder Bay, and there is never far to go to get to a decent place for a walk. Following along parts of the Current River, Cascades is a pleasant place where one is likely to run into groups of locals at any time of year. Beautiful waterfalls are not so hard to get to, and the walks through the forest are varied and relaxing.

We go over to Mission island once in awhile to view the deer, the birds and walk along the paths on a quiet eve. A real gem in the middle of this city. We often take visitors to this site and they really enjoy it as well.

Great Conservation area with little hikes to the lakeside, both high and low. Not a great swimming venue as it is a busy boat launch and there are often big waves. Great views of the rocky shores of the lake with picnic tables and a big field.
