Current River Greenway, Recreation park in Thunder Bay, Canada
Current River Greenway is a recreation park spanning hundreds of hectares with paved walking trails, sports fields, playgrounds, and tennis courts integrated throughout. The site connects to the Thunder Bay Recreational Trails and Trans Canada Trail system, forming part of a larger network for outdoor activities.
The park includes the Black Bay Bridge built in 1911, an early reinforced concrete structure spanning the Current River. This bridge represents a significant moment in the region's infrastructure development.
The greenway hosts the Dragon Boat Festival and International Wakeboard Festival during summer months, drawing visitors and locals to Boulevard Lake Park. These events have become part of the rhythm of Thunder Bay's outdoor season.
The greenway offers over 50 kilometers of connected walking trails suitable for different activity levels and interests. Visitors can find both developed areas with facilities and quieter sections for those seeking a more natural experience.
Birch Point Park within the greenway displays specimens representing the provincial tree of every Canadian province and territory. This collection serves as both a botanical exhibit and a tribute to Thunder Bay's forestry heritage.
