Thunder Bay is home to stunning scenery amid pristine wilderness, with water trails that weave their way through boreal forests. For centuries, these waters were the trade routes of the Indigenous Peoples who resided here, who paddled through towns and villages to trade fur and other goods. Today, the region can still be explored by canoe. Thunder Bay also lies in the heart of amethyst country; these semi-precious stones can be found along the north shore of Lake Superior. Local gift shops and jewelers offer a range of polished amethyst pieces for visitors to buy.
