Thunder Bay Bogs Trail
This trail traverses rocky terrain to the shore of a small, still lake. At interpretive stops along the way, read about glacial features and how local plants have adapted to the harsh growing conditions.
On the southern tip of this rugged peninsula near Thunder Bay lies the legendary Sleeping Giant. Venture deep into its boreal forests to experience the backcountry, or follow its rugged trails to the top of the giant for unbeatable views of Lake Superior. Look for deer, moose and other large mammals in the park’s vast forests and lowlands.
