Chippewa Park
A long-standing lakeside park on Lake Superior, with a beach, retro 1930s amusement rides, and a wildlife area, about 15 minutes by car from downtown.
Chippewa Park lies on the lakeshore south of Thunder Bay and opened in the 1920s. Its features include a sandy beach, picnic areas, a campground, a small wildlife exhibit, and a vintage amusement area that preserves a carousel and a Ferris wheel from the 1930s. It's a favorite summer destination for local families. The rides generally operate from June to September and charge per ride. Even in summer the lake water at the beach stays cool. The park is about 15 minutes by car from downtown.
