Recreational Trails
Recreational trails in Thunder Bay are intended for the shared use of walkers, runners, cyclists, in-line skaters and other non-motorized uses. Persons with disabilities are also able to use powered wheelchairs on the trail system. Trails provide a great opportunity to get active.

While all the trails are popular the 5+ kilometre loop around Boulevard Lake consistently attracts large numbers of users.

Paving is complete for a new trail connecting the Parkdale area to Northwood. The Trail starts at Wolverine Drive and follows the north bank of the Neebing River east - passing under the Expressway and connecting with an existing section of trail that runs between Thornloe and Laurentian Drive. Paving will be complete this fall on a new trail which connects James Street along the south side of Parkway and Laurentian Drives to the Parkdale TrailConstruction of the gravel base for a trail connecting the existing trails on the west side of the Boulevard Lake at Court Street to the Current River Park area on Cumberland Street. This is the first phase of a new loop of trails around the Boulevard Lake Dam which will eventually be extended to the mouth of the river and south to Marina Park as part of a new route for the Trans Canada Trail.
