Bring your family or organization to stay on my pristine land situated on 135 acres located 45kms south from Thunder Bay airport and 10 minutes north of the Minnesota border. I welcome you to rent one of my thirteen rustic cabins or pitch your tent in a private area to reconnect with nature and rediscover yourself. You can also purchase add-on experiences to learn more about Anishinaaabe practices and the rich culture of the region.
For nature lovers and boating enthusiasts, the Little Trout Bay Conservation Area and Lake Superior boat launch are all less than 2 kms away. Enjoy the James Duncan Nature Trail located in the same area, perfect for a day hike. A firepit with firewood for purchase is also available for your family to enjoy. I look forward to meeting you soon.
Niibing means 'it is summer' in Anishinaabe. My paternal ancestry is Anishinaabe from north of Lake Superior and Cree/French from northern Manitoba and my maternal ancestry is from England through my great-grandmother. I purchased this land in 2017 to fulfil a lifelong dream to live in the bush next to water and to offer tribal tourism opportunities to global visitors. My ancestors have been greeting visitors on Gichigami (Lake Superior) for thousands of years. I feel that when I am greeting visitors. It is important to me and to my role of Lodgekeeper to be welcoming and accommodating. As a Lodgekeeper, I was presented with the Spiritual guidance to conduct this work for all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. I am very passionate about this work and share the concepts of 'All My Relations' and our interconnectedness with the animals, trees, plants, mountains, water and all the other beings of Mother Earth. It is my life’s work.
“I offer these teachings and experiences from my role as Lodgekeeper, gifted to me through ceremony. I do this work from the heart, with the understanding that healing is sacred — and sustainability is sacred. Every contribution supports the land, the Spirits, and the continuation of these opportunities for future generations.”

Weekend Trip to Niibing Tribal Tours
We soaked in the peace and beauty of the meadows and woods. We are grateful to Cindy for sharing her land and herself with her animals heartily. May much healing take place surrounding the Standing Strong woman and the Anishinaabe keepers of the land.

P.S. You will enjoy the simplicity and yet everything you might need is there. The cabins still smell of newness and the beds and mattresses are very comfortable.

Where to go
Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
At Sleeping Giant, more than 100km of hiking trails lead campers through unique geographical features and boreal forest with unparalleled views out over Lake Superior. The park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including lynx, timber wolves, white-tailed deer, the endangered grey fox, and more than 200 bird species. Mountain biking is popular in summer, while skiing reigns supreme in winter.
Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area
The protected waters of the truly immense Lake Superior and the lands around it form this park that is a haven for wildlife. Hike the many trails, get out on that water on your kayak or swim from the beaches, cast a line, or if you’re a diver explore more than 50 sunken vessels on the lake bed.
Silver Falls Provincial Park
Known for having one of Northern Ontario's best hiking trails (which leads to Silver Falls), this park offers sandy swimming beaches, pristine waterways for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, and seasonal rustic camping.
La Verendrye Provincial Park
This waterway park on the Minnesota border was once part of the historic fur-trading route from Lake Superior to Winnipeg. The park is unstaffed with no entry fees and limited facilities, but backcountry and car camping are allowed.
When to go
With a population of more than 110,000, Thunder Bay is a year-round city despite extremely cold winters. Restaurants and most attractions stay open through winter, but spots like Fort Williams Historical Park are seasonal. Winters in Northern Ontario are brutal with temperatures dipping below -40°C and rough road conditions, so you'll need to be well prepared to plan a winter camping trip to Thunder Bay.
Know before you go
- Getting to any parks around Thunder Bay without a vehicle is near impossible. If you rent a car in winter, late fall, or early spring, consider getting one with snow tires.
- Plenty of stores in Thunder Bay sell camping gear and trip provisions.
- Cell reception can be patchy outside of the city.
- The Pigeon River border crossing is only 50km from Thunder Bay, but you’ll need to make sure you have a passport and valid travel documents to cross into the US (and to get back into Canada).
