Went to Kakabeka Falls (Ojibwa for Thundering Waters) referred to as Niagara of the North.This is the second largest natural waterfall in the world, dropping 128 feet.
Spent all afternoon at Fort William Historical Park, where you step back to 1815 in the midst of the fur trade. Life there is recreated through costume and full working kitchen, bakery, dairy, blacksmith shop, tinsmithing, barrel making, etc. Children are encourag
ed to parcipate in the different venues. We witnessed "The Arrival" of a canoe coming with new men and supplies. They were greeted by a working canon demonstration. We also witnessed "The Arrest" of a voyageur whose three month contract had expired and he wanted to leave, but they needed him to stay on as a blacksmith. Really well done and entertaining. We drove to the Marina and Marine Park on the shores of Lake Superior. Many huge elevators, tanks, freighters, etc along the wharfs. Finished off our outing with 
homemade ice cream. Yummmmy.
