ABOUT THE TRAIL
The Trail of Purgatory is a Halloween walkthrough and display located at 115 Pennock Drive in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The trail is divided into 8 themes, guests will experience scares from live actors, highly graphic/sensitive content, uneven grounds, dense fog, very loud noises, narrow and wide paths, and complete darkness. The trail was started by Noah when he was 14 years old in 2020. Every year Noah expands the trail more, working on new builds over the summer every year. Ocotober 2026 marks the 7th season of celebrating Halloween.
TRIGGER WARNING: there are EXTREMELY loud noises and INTENSE strobe lights, people who are highly sensitive or have medical conditions should enter with caution.
