What a great fall hunting season its been in Northwestern Ontario!

I've seen plenty of Moose and Deer and I am pleased to see the steady stream of hunters passing through Thunder Bay on their way north to various hunt camps and lodges.

So what's moose hunting all about? What's all the fuss? Should we just stay home and conserve our cash? With the current economic hubbub and the issues at the border... hunting is about time with family and close friends?

Lasting memories are the drop dead cool stories from stuff like hunting

Beating the Summer Heat

Thunder Bay Residents cool off in the Current River at the Cascades Conservation Area. Visitors can access this popular swimming hole by going to the end of Balsam Street. It is a pleasant 10 minute walk in from the parking lot.

For safety reasons bring water shoes and please avoid the temptation to dive or jump in as the water depth varies substantially.

For Camping on the Current River see Trowbridge Falls.

Victoria's Secret

In a recent edition of Superior Outdoors they featured a new attraction for the exploring enthusiast. Victoria's Secret is an attraction paralleling the beauty and uniqueness of the Sea Lion at Silver Islet or even the Sleeping Giant some claim.

This photographic gem lies roughly mid way between Thunder Bay and the Pigeon River border crossing. It is a little more difficult to get to as it's out on the shore of Victoria Island, but where nature has been unkind to the mighty Sea Lion, Victoria's image is well preserved.

If your one of those people seeking a challenge, and the associated rewards of finding a true gem in the rough, we invite you to seek the following coordinates:
