The bustling, picturesque hub of the northwest, Kenora is renowned as a tourist centre and a pulp and paper town. Situated at the north end of the Lake of the Woods, it offers a superb choice of boating, fishing and hunting, first-class accommodation, and great sailing which comes to the fore each summer with the ESCAPE power-boat cruise and the LOWISA regatta. In fur-trading days the town was known as Rat Portage, today it's an attractive town with a full schedule of fairs, festivals and regattas.
Husky the Muskie. This huge muskie replica, built of wood, steel and fibreglass, stands 13 m high and weighs close to 2,5 tons. Husky is a symbol for the Lake of the Woods, where some of North America's best muskie fishing may be had. (McLeod Park, in town.)
Lake Cruises. The "M.S. Kenora" makes a two-hour, 29 km cruise through the myriad islands of Lake if the Woods, including "Devil's Gap" where there's a "spirit rock" painting, said to commemorate a great battle, the victims of which lie in the deep channel at the foot of the rock.
