Vacation Guide 2017
CANADA
CROSS THE PIGEON RIVER TO CANADA; YOU
WILL BE REQUIRED TO PASS THROUGH CANADIAN
CUSTOMS ENTERING CANADA & US CUSTOMS UPON
RE-ENTERING THE USA; BRING PASSPORTS FOR EACH PERSON.
Just so you know, Canada is English-speaking, uses the
same rules of the road, uses the metric system [that’s
kilometers per hour, not miles], accepts credit cards
although you can exchange money on either side of
the border and is in the Eastern Time Zone, one hour
ahead of Minnesota / Central Time Zone.
Tour the Middle Falls [of the Pigeon River] Provincial
Park a few miles over the border.
Stop at the world’s largest reconstruction of an early
1800s fur trading post, Fort William Historical Park, just
west of Thunder Bay on Broadway, follow the signs.
Get a bird’s-eye view from viewing platforms of the
131-foot Kakabeka Falls. 20 miles west on Highway
11/17.
Explore the city of Thunder Bay [37 miles northeast of
the border], home to ethnic neighborhoods and shops,
urban dining and shopping, a waterfront and marina
overlooking Sleeping Giant Provincial Park and the
Welcome Islands, parks and green spaces, recreation
complexes, seven museums, sport and entertainment
venues, and amethyst mines.
