Sparkling waters, a rugged landscape and a tree-clad coast line await you

Sparkling waters, a rugged landscape and tree-clad coasts are just some of the sights awaiting you at Little Trout Bay Conservation Area. The boat launch provides public access to Lake Superior south of the City of Thunder Bay. Little Trout Bay and the surrounding waters provide excellent fishing for salmon, pickerel, whitefish, rainbow trout and lake trout.

On-shore activities include picnic facilities and a hiking trail. A pavilion with picnic tables and displays was built in 2001-02.

In partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), the LRCA's newly-reopened Lookout Trail now connects to the NCC's James Duncan Nature Trail and Big Trout Bay Nature Reserve.
