North Bay, Ontario is a modest sized city of 50,000 souls, situated on the shores of Lake Nipissing. Its past history as a rail hub has given way to newer functions including 4 season tourist center, north eastern Ontario education center with both a university and college, shopping Mecca for the surrounding regional population and an airport capable of landing a Concorde jet.
Today's images depict summer life in this part of the great white north. North Bay has many fine public beaches with thousands of feet of white sand and safe swimming for all family members. Most beaches have lifeguards on duty during the day.
If swimming and beaches aren't your thing, try your hand with the locals at pier fishing. Here we see a young "Bay Boy" with his line in the water at the Government wharf.

No luck fishing. Why not try a fresh fish dinner at one of the many seafood restaurants in and around town. Some of my favorites include Chester's Shore Lunch, Joey's Only and Tek's.
Well, that's all for today but see us again tomorrow for a few more images from Travels with McEachern.
