→West to Kenora and Winnipeg along highway #102 and #17
There are two ways to hitch out of Thunder Bay:
* 1) Take the #17 highway westward from close to the Confederation College.
* 2) Take Dawson Road/Highway 102 northwest from close to County Fair Mall, which meets up with the 17 main highway within half an hour. * 3) Position yourself just after the traffic lights of East Ave and the 102 (next to the Tbaytel). There is a lot of traffic and cars can turn right easily to do a little loop and pick you up.
Both are major routes for into and out of Thunder Bay. Hitchwiki user [[User:Stickbugg|Stickbugg]] is not sure which is easier, but he says that taking the #17 at first was very difficult and only one person stopped in 6 hours.
Hitchhikers report lots of positive results when hitching in front of the Macs Gas station, located on Dawson Road/Highway 102 roughly 1.2km west of the Highway 11/17 (Thunder Bay Expressway) intersection. Many report getting rides in about 15-minutes.
