Sightseeing
North Bay has much to offer for the outdoor enthusiasts. We are fortunate to have 2 beautiful lakes within the city. With great hiking, walking and bicycle paths, there is definitely something for everyone.
Great hike! Not strenuous, mostly flat ground with a few well worn path inclines. This is approx 35mins east of North Bay. Well worth the trip. So picturesque, with history plackards along the way.

On May 28, 1934, five identical girls were born to Oliva and Elzire Dionne, a Franco-Ontario family in the tiny community of Corbeil, Ontario. Their births were a miracle of its time during the difficult Depression, the only quintuplets to survive more than a few days.
Their original home sits close to the North Bay waterfront for you to explore. Filled with artifacts and interesting information, worth checking out.

Food scene
The neighbourhood we live in is the 'main hub' of North Bay. More restaurants and stores than I can list. From fast food, to roadhouse, to finer dining. 2 great grocery stores are within walking distance - one, No Frills, is a box store. Sobeys is the other one, offering full service with wine and beer. The LCBO is in the Sobeys parking lot.
