	Kakabeka Falls Often referred to as the Niagara of the north, Kakabeka Falls are worth the 20 mile visit west of Thunder Bay. Appropriately, the word “Kakabeka” means “water running over sheer cliffs”. Indeed, water thunders over sheer cliffs into an impressive gorge before flowing to Lake Superior. The falls are magnificent and powerful, as water gushes over a 131-foot steep wall of a canyon. Their display creates a thundering sound! You can enjoy the view from various vantages along the boardwalk and observation pods. Swimming, camping, picnicking and hiking are all nearby. A hiking trail exists whereby you can retrace the steps made by voyageurs on the fur trade route from Montreal to the West. The flow of water is best in spring and on weekends – the flow is reduced during the week.
	Kamistiquia River and River Rat Rentals Tubing The Kaministiquia River which empties into western Lake Superior at the City of Thunder Bay is an Ojibwe word meaning “river with islands” due to two large islands at the mouth of the river. It is also the home of our local lazy river with our River Rat Rental tubing experience. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a hot summer day. Float down the Kam River and experience a new pastime. Relax for a few hours and take in the natural scenic beauty of the Kam River.
