NIPIGON TRAIL

Potential Route - 160 KM.

We are in the very early stages of determining a potential route to connect Thunder Bay east to Nipigon, and have begun "boots on the ground" verification of feasible route options and work required. Due to the many parcels of private lands along the shoreline of Lake Superior, and the twinning of Highway 11/17, we have instead focused on Crown lands west of the 

Trans Canada Highway 11/17. 

At 160 km (100 mi), the trail is proposed to run from Trowbridge Park at the north end of Thunder Bay to Nipigon, taking in Wolf River Falls, Morraine (Talking) Falls, Ouimet Canyon, and the Deer Lake Trail. This will be accomplished by mainly focusing on reclaiming old unused roads and trails, then connecting them together to form one contiguous trail. This strategy will be instrumental in reducing our footprint, minimizing expenditure of resources, and reducing trail maintenance time.

This trail is several years out from being completed.
