Lake of the Woods
Welcome to one of the most dramatic, mysterious and surprising lakes in the world – Lake of the Woods. From the deep clear water and rugged landscape of the Canadian shield at its north end, to the inviting woods, shallow water and sandy bottom at its south end, nature has worked wonders here to create a year-round natural paradise for vacationers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Lake of the Woods and the surrounding areas comprise one of the natural wonders of North America. With over 14,000 islands and more than 105,000 kilometers (65,000 miles) of shoreline – more shoreline than Lake Superior, the waterways of the lake and the surrounding wilderness offer anglers & hunters an endless variety of opportunities to experience the wonder of the region.
Just 60 kilometers (35 miles) from the American border – a 45-minute drive – Morson guards the edge of untamed wilderness. Its many lodges are a Mecca for naturalists, photographers, bird-watchers, campers and those who come simply for the unforgettable experience of a shore-lunch of fresh-caught Walleye.
Kenora sits on the north shore of the lake like a jewel in a crown. Those with a taste for shopping will find themselves in vacation paradise as they discover the many local arts and crafts available in a variety of unique shops. Discover the beauty of the area with a tour by boat, plane, or even helicopter.
For those whose interests lean to adventure or exploration, a short jaunt to the north will lead to Minaki, a small village on the shores of the Winnipeg River. For fishing, hunting, hiking, or simply relaxing in one of the many quality resorts and campgrounds in the area, Minaki offers an unforgettable vacation experience.
On the eastern shore of the lake sits Sioux Narrows. Vacationers will relish the small-town charm of this natural landmark as they enjoy world-class resorts, camping, RVing, shopping, dining, golf and more. The historical single span wooden bridge has been replaced, but its signature wooden trusses have been incorporated into the new bridge. Sioux Narrows is a vital link connecting the United States and southern Lake of the Woods with the City of Kenora and beyond.
A little to the south, those seeking an experience of the true wilderness will find it at Nestor Falls, a beautiful resort community and the perfect base to launch the outdoor adventure of a lifetime. Nestled in a maze of small lakes, Nestor Falls has a reputation as one of the finest hunting and fishing destinations in North America, and is widely regarded as the place for fly-in fishing.
From the rustic charm of Morson, to the thriving centre of Kenora, to the tranquility of Minaki in the north, to Sioux Narrows and Nestor Falls – Lake of the Woods has something for everybody who visits!
