North Shore’s First Zip Line

You don’t need any special clothing or equipment to fly like a bird at speeds up to 50 mph at Eagle Canyon’s aerial adventure trail, the Zipline. Set to be launched in June, it will be Canada’s longest zipline--and one of the world’s longest–at 2,680 feet. Located 40 miles east of Thunder Bay, Eagle Canyon is already home to Canada’s longest suspension foot bridge. Contact: www.eaglecanyonadventures.ca or (807) 857-1475.

Lake Superior Day
Some Lake Superior communities hold activities or events to celebrate Lake Superior Day, which is Sunday, July 18. Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s and is promoted by the Lake Superior Binational Forum to highlight the special connections people have to this unique world treasure. Anyone can hold activities or events that celebrate life on the lake. This year the theme is “Let’s Go Fly a Kite!” to symbolize clean energy sources such as wind power.
