Beautiful Park with some very nice sites.
Beautiful Park with some very nice sites.
My cousins took us out on Rainy Lake. Many of the small islands still contain remnants of gold mines from the late 1800s and early 1900s started by some of the first fur trappers in the area.
Once you reach the top of the peak where the bench is you have to continue to walk for another 20 or so minutes to reach this area. It's not hidden so as you continue through various open areas you will just have to keep going until you arrive.
Early morning warmth on the Lake of the Woods in Anicinabe Park, Kenora. Lake of the Woods is over 70 miles long and wide, and contains more than 14,552 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline. Sixth largest freshwater Lake partly in the US after the 5 Great Lakes. #GreatOutdoors

Desk staff were friendly and accommodating, although the hotel is a bit dated in its decor, they are undergoing upgrades. Our room was very clean and quiet, which to me (being a light sleeper) is very important.
