Mount McKay Scenic Lookout
4.6· 599 Google reviews
Mount McKay offers stunning views of Thunder Bay, but parents should be aware of the $10 vehicle entry fee and the challenging hike to the top.
What to expect
While the wooden boardwalk is gone, this scenic spot provides panoramic city views and a glimpse of the Sleeping Giant. The drive-up overlook is accessible, but reaching the summit requires a hike, which parents note can be challenging and requires good footwear and water, especially with young children. It's a quick stop for many unless the weather is particularly nice.
Best for
Families looking for a rewarding hike with a great view, provided they are prepared for the terrain and entry fee.
