mount mckay

The view of my mckay was very pretty. Didn't make it to the top because the park was closed guess the typical tourist doesn't go in April. The bridge to get here was kinda creepy barely enough room for my f150 to make it through and it seemed as if it were made of scrap parts literally. But that's part of the adventure it was what it was and I can't hold it against the pretty sight.

A must see and do when you visit Thunder Bay.It was a bit off path to get there, but when you arrive,,,,WOWWWWThe view is spectacular.The staff at gate house were also very friendly

A great place to look at Thunder Bay and Lake Superior. It gives you a very different perspective. The nominal fee is worth it as the road is newly refinished and the Pow Wow center will be very nice once completed.

Although its a bit of a drive out of town the view is worth it. You have to hike a bit up the mountain but once you get to the top its really nice.The mountain was in great condition and the road was freshly paved earlier in the season. We brought pizza and enjoyed lunch at the top of the mountain overlooking Thunder Bay.

This attraction is a neat place to go to see the whole city from the look out. I have come here during the day and at night. It's also a quiet place to come to have some me time. I have never hiked the top part of the mountain as I heard there was a trail you could do that. There is a man that sits on the way in who asks for money but I dont pay him. this lookout is free. Its located on the reserve part of Thunder Bay so this native man trys to charge people for going up "his" mountain. last time I was here he was even intoxicate, We just drove by.

Mt. McKay was the highlight of our stay in Thunder Bay! The upkeep is perfect and not a lot of tampering with nature here thank goodness so you really feel like the 5$ was worth it. We sat in the back of our mini-van and enjoyed lunch while looking out over Thunder Bay and had a spectacular and dreamy view of the Sleeping Giant-- we could have stayed here forever! Fall must be the most perfect time to visit as you can witness the changing of the leaves. Absolutely breathtaking and great time to take family photos (which we did!)

We traveled up the mountain at dusk. The view was spectacular with the city starting to light up for the evening. Well worth the 5 bucks a car load

Mount McKay is a great thing to do as soon as you arrive to Thunder Bay. Located about 10 minutes from the airport you can take your car up the mountain where you get a great view of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park... the pictures don't do it justice but you can see all of Thunder Bay as well! $5 per car to get in and then you can hike around as well. When we went it was raining so we just got out to take a view pictures before getting on our way.

Five dollars per car makes Mt McKay one of the cheaper options in Thunder Bay (compared to say, sleeping giant). Definitely worth a stop for the view and Ojibway monuments. We took a very steep "trail" of mostly loose shale up to the very top. Definitely a rush although not the easiest or safest route. Pretty sure there is another walking trail that might be a better option.

This is well worth the trip to Thunder Bay. Only $5.00 per car and the view is amazing. You are up so high that you can view the entire city and the bay with ships coming into port. The newly paved road is a joy to drive, going past trees on the winding road that has no shoulders is a soulful experience as well...

The city if Thunder Bay looks so beautiful from such a height. It's always a nice change of pace to visit the mountain and escape the city life from time to time. It's also the location for Fort William First Nations annual Pow Wow. A must see.

The Google Maps driving directions we printed off at the hotel before setting out to this attraction weren't quite accurate. So after stopping to ask directions, we found the road leading to the mountain. Admission was $5, which wasn't horrible in my opinion. We were instructed to just follow the road, which had recently been blacktopped and was in excellent condition. The views of the trees along the way were enjoyable. Once at the lookout area, there was plenty of room for parking. Stretching along the edge was a boardwalk overlooking the expanse of Thunder Bay and adjoining Lake Superior, which was breathtaking. Very nice view! There were hiking trails for those who were so inclined.

The walkway along the edge of the lookout needs to be updated. It looks rickety and has some rotten boards on the walkway that have been fixed with a piece of plywood nailed overtop. Nice view.

Took the family up the mt to check it out. The road is all re-done and lots is being developed. It is worth the 5$. Great view and some great trials to walk. If in tbay visiting....check this out.

I took my kids to Mount Mckay, we loved it!!! It was a very beautiful view of the city and lake superior. It only cost $5 to get in. We were going to hike up the mountain but forgot bug spray, definitely a must!!! We enjoyed it so much we went twice the second time we saw 2 bear cubs. A great and cheap place to take the kids
