Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
Just north of the border near Thunder Bay, lies a beautiful Canadian peninsula on Lake Superior. A mountain range in the park, called the Sleeping Giant, offers spectacular views of the lake and some great rustic campsites.
We made a four day, almost 60 KM walk around the peninsula. Toots, a Thunder Bay resident and a veteran of these trails, guided us along the journey. While smoke from Canadian wildfires and some fog hampered the views, they did not diminish our fun.
We also were able to visit with folks working at the Thunder Cape Bird Observatory. It was fascinating to hear about their work and see a bird get banded. To learn more, check out these websites:

Remembering Thunder Bridge in Innisfil, Ontario (Modern Day Barrie, Ontario)
Prior to 1963, there was a fondly remembered bridge in Innisfil that connected modern-day Foster Drive (Highland Dr./Cres. prior to 1982) with the existing portion of Tollendal Rd (now accessed via Hurst Drive). This whole section of land was annexed to the City of Barrie in 1982. The entire road prior to 1963 went from Yonge St. (Hwy 11), over Thunder Bridge, all the way to Lake Simcoe and was collectively known as Tollendal Rd. It was one of the main routes folks in this area used to access the Lake and Government Dock at the end of Dock Rd. I have recently taken an interest in this bridge as I grew up in this area in the 80's AND no pictures are known to exist - only people's memories of it. I recently went to the site where it once stood to take some pictures and video. As you can see, little remains except part of the bridge's concrete foundation along with the metal guard rail in place of where the bridge once was. Most of the area is incredibly overgrown with bush and trees but you can clearly see where the bridge would have connected Foster Dr. over the tracks to the remaining portion of Tollendal Rd. off of Hurst Dr.

Backpacking the Sleeping Giant
In southern Ontario, Canada near Thunder Bay, our group of seven circled the tip of the Sibley Peninsula on an area called the Sleeping Giant. The four day adventure provided beautiful views of the bay while challenging us with some steep and rugged trails.
On the first day we hiked past the Sea Lion and Tee Habour to Lehtinen's Bay. We then took a difficult spur trail up to a look out called the knees of the giant. It provided a breathtaking view and deep gorge with a scary drop off.
On the second day, we hiked through a boulder field to the Thunder Cape Bird Observatory. We were able to talk with staff and volunteers at the observatory about how they track the migration of song birds. We then continued our hike to Sawyer Bay. The beach at Sawyer Bay provided a picturesque beach for camping.
On day 3, some of us made a straight up hike to the head of the giant. Obviously Canadians do not believe in switchbacks, but the hike was worth the awesome view. Then the whole group made the hike to the Twin Lakes Trail campsite. This beautiful campsite, with a spectacular fire ring, is also located right off the lake and a beach that we enjoyed the sunset from.
On the 4th day, we hiked the Twin Lakes Trail campsite to Clavet Bay. After a short break we meet the steep climb to the Thunder Bay Lookout. Wow! The cantilevered look out over a tall cliff was spectacular.
