Fort Kaministiquia, established in 1717, was a key French fur trading post before being abandoned. Today, the site is a historic park with interpretive panels and reconstructed foundations that hint at its past. Visitors can stroll along the river, picnic among the trees, and imagine the bustling trade that once took place here. It's a quiet spot to connect with Thunder Bay's early colonial history.
