Ice Skating

Rumour has it that Thunder Bay has the most outdoor rinks per capita, so there is no shortage of places to skate or play some hockey.

The outdoor rink at Prince Arthur’s Landing is a true winter favourite, offering skating with a view you won’t find anywhere else. Glide across the ice along Thunder Bay’s waterfront, then warm up by the outdoor fireplace as you take in sweeping views of the Sleeping Giant—where crisp winter air, glowing lights, and lakeside scenery come together for an unforgettable skating experience.

Glide into winter magic at Kakabeka Falls and Sleeping Giant Provincial Parks, where scenic ice skating loops turn the frozen landscape into a one-of-a-kind adventure. Skate beneath towering cliffs, forested trails, and breathtaking winter views—these iconic parks transform cold days into unforgettable moments of pure northern wonder.
