Have you been to Thunder Bay? Fun fact: I went to Lakehead University in Thunder Bay for Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism.
Looks like a beautiful place and glad you got some paddle boarding in! Great film 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏼 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love your blog about Thunder Bay and area. Glad you had an an amazing adventure here!
Thank for watching and commenting. Tons to see and do in and around Tbay! 🙌🏼 I can’t wait to come back!
I was born and reside in Thunder Bay. Thanks for sharing so much of its glory. I sure appreciated seeing Silver Islet, under water. Wow! I did thr rec and leisure at the college and ran a woman's adventure club for 9 years, to get them out and trying new activities. I ❤ your enthusiam and personality. You made the video worthwhile to watch. You would be a blast to go adventuring with! You are certainly more tenacious than me though.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
It was a wonderful being back in Thunder Bay (I went to Lakehead University) and I had the best time exploring all the amazing things the area has to offer!
I bet you've done some incredible things living in Thunder Bay and having run an adventure club for 9 years. I love this 🙌🏼
Way to still get the sleeping giant hike done! Still a great view despite the fog and great accomplishment 😊
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!
It was a gruelling hike but still amazing to be out in nature and see the eeriness of the "view"
Another great blog
Nice smile and pos attitude
Zack directed me to your channel
Yes lots to do in TB
Zack was first there in 1997 when we were in Scouts at the Canadian Jamboree at Boulevard Lake
Thank you for the kind comment!
Love going to Thunder Bay.
Fun fact, on Zack; thanks for that! My first time was the day I arrived for Outdoor Rec at Lakehead in 2003.
Love your energy and vibe! Your videos have inspired me so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment! I’m so glad they have helped inspire you. What adventures are on your list for this year?
As someone who lived in TBay back in the day for only a year I absolutely fell in love with that town and it’s surrounding areas! Take one step outside of town and you are in the middle of nowhere with some of the best fishing, camping, hiking, paddling etc!!! Good to see you back in the bay! 🤙
Thanks for watching and commenting. I fully agree! So many great places to explore.
nice video i am doing the circle lake superior tour in the fall lots of great ideas
Thanks for watching and commenting. That drive is outstanding! Did you see this video? ua-cam.com/video/n4z4M0sh1TM/v-deo.htmlsi=Awckp4uEH5PPYGet
Have the best time!
New adventuuuure lets goooooo !!
Yeeeww! Thanks for all your stoke!
On deck, my first sea kayaking expedition 🙌🏼
@@PaddleAdventurer was this trip just recently done? how did you enjoy the waters on the big lakes! I saw a youtube short of yours about winter paddling so I assume this is aug/sept? the lakes froze to quick here in sask to do anything fun last min on the water >.
I was in Thunder Bay in August. Getting through editing all my adventure content. Lots more to come!
Lake Superior is amazing but it is a beast! Have you paddled any of the Great Lakes?
Snow hasn't stayed on the ground in southern Ontario yet but it's that time of year for cold water paddling.
Sorry to hear things froze over so quickly! What a bummer! You'll have to plan a trip or live vicariously through people online 😄
This was amazing!!! I'm moving to Tbay soon so I'm looking for as much info as possible!!
Thanks for watching; I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
How exciting for you. Check out my Ontario Road Trip video for more things to do in the Thunder Bay area as well as places on route if you're driving from southern Ontario.

I've also added it to the description of this video.
@@PaddleAdventurer thanks I will
There was a trail to the top called “ The Chimney” climbed the talus slope up to a large crack that lead to the top. It was really good but a bit treacherous. I’ve not tried the “new” trail you were on, this fall perhaps.
Yes! I remember it being The Chimney and thought I had hiked this trail before but it didn’t look familiar. Thanks for the reminder.
I’d love to go back and The Top of the Giant again on a clear day!
Thanks for the quick clip around Thunder Bay area, you hit a lot of the places I'm likely to go this coming summer, like, doing the exact same things almost... I sea kayak, hike, and drink beer! So this was a high-value orientation. Got anything else around the Canadian shore of Superior?
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!
I see you also watched the Ultimate Ontario Road Trip ua-cam.com/video/n4z4M0sh1TM/v-deo.htmlsi=dnSEOGC9Ctx7Gb51 which has loads of great spots to check out on Lake Superior.
Sault Ste Marie is another great place to check out too! ua-cam.com/video/2npfyt8yydw/v-deo.htmlsi=YMWOJvkyTV7haOxw
Another great video of TB and area. Love your footage of Kakabeka Falls and the "inner falls" The inner Falls I believe was about a 5 km walk, but well worth it! When do the black flies come out? When we went to Panorama Amethyst it was swarming with black flies (July?).
Thanks so much for checking this one out too. I love being up in north western Ontario; it's magic!
I think the black fly "season" is in and around April to July. This video was filmed mid August.
@@PaddleAdventurer ya, we really love NW, On and TB. Sleeping Giant is a mystical peninsula. It was really cool to see you Summit. We did not make it to the top the day we were there. Thanks for the tip on the black flies, we may leave a bit later than planned. Cheers!
Fully agree! I’d love to do the top of the Giant again on a clear day. I’ve also circumnavigated the Giant on a backpack hiking trip.
First time seeing the Silver Islet mines and that was something else!
Have a great trip!
I live there!
Wooohoo! I was just back in the area. Such an awesome place!
@@PaddleAdventurer what did you like the most about it I have a house on a beach there
@@percypoon4684 that’s a tough question! Likely the sheer beauty of nature and access to it. Plus the unique places around town. I went to school at Lakehead and lived there for four years.
For Amethyst mines go to Diamond Willow, same area just a lil further. Far better place!!
Oohh thanks for the suggestion! 🙏🏽💜
I live in Thunder Bay and I haven’t seen all this.
I'm glad it showcased some new places to explore! Check out this video too for other spots between the Soo and T.Bay ua-cam.com/video/n4z4M0sh1TM/v-deo.htmlsi=FPQ8yW_wBlbMlepq
This is random but where do you get your scarves and neck gaiters? Can you share?? 😊
Thanks for watching and for the question, Melissa!
The blue and white scarf I bought at a market in Thailand a long time ago and the green neck gaiter is from Outdoor Research purchased a few years ago.
Let me know if there are any others you're wondering about that you've seen in other videos.
❤ 💙
Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙌🏼
One more tip I’m sure u wanted to mention not yo hike alone to the top of the giant
Great point! It's not a beginner friendly hike by any means and reception is pretty miss so like most outdoor backcountry activities it's important to plan accordingly.
How many times have you climbed the giant?
Great question! I can't remember if I ever did this hike before. I've circumnavigated the entire Giant twice on backpacking trips in university.
