Location: Thunder Bay, ON

This hike will take you around the top of Lost Mountain for excellent views of the city, Fox Mountain, and Mount McRae and Sawdust Lake.

The trail has steep sections, and the trail on the Mt McRae side can be hard to follow.  You will also need to make careful choices at all trail intersections.

Drive South on Highway 61 turn left onto Mountain Road, then right onto Coppin Road.  Drive to end of Coppin Road and park in the turn around area making sure you do not block any local traffic or driveways.  The trail starts on the east side of the road.  There are lots of trails in this area so make sure you have a map and a compass –and know how to use them!!
