Centennial Park

Centennial Park is a historic and recreation destination located on the banks of the Current River in the community of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Thunder Bay is part of the North of Superior region of Northern Ontario, Canada.

Centennial Park is best known as a sightseeing historic destination detailing the stories and tribulations of the logging and forestry industry of the past. The highlights of the forestry park include the 1910 logging camp, a forestry museum and a train providing tours named the "Muskeg Express."

The main trail exploring in the park is gravel. From the main trail there are side trails leading into the forests and down to the banks of the Current River. Continue further and the trail continues on as the TCT (Trans Canada Trail).

Follow the main trail out of Centennial Park and it eventually connects to more activity destinations like the Trowbridge Falls Park, Shuniah Mines Mountain Bike Area and the Cascades Conversation Area.

In the winter months the 10 kilometres of trails in Centennial Park transform into groomed cross country ski trails. Also one can book a horse drawn sleigh ride or plummet down a toboggan hill.
