Kenora is located
approximately 200 Km east of
Winnipeg
on Hwy 17. Because of
the forest and the neighbouring
Lake of the Woods
, Kenora had its start as a stop in the transportation of lumber to
local sawmills. This
community cannot escape the influence of the nearby lake and there
is no reason why it should as the area attracts visitors by the
thousands to its scenic landscapes and diverse attractions.
Throughout the year,
Kenora is host to a multitude of events.
Some of these included the North American First Nations
Festival of Culture and Sport; LOWISA an annual international
sailing regatta, traditional First Nations Powwows, Kenora Bass
International, and the Canadian Masters Rowing Regatta.
This little town uses its waterfront well using it as a
backdrop to concerts and live theater.
A
great way to spend the day is by renting a boat and exploring the
area by water. If you
prefer walking, spend some time in the
Rushing
River
National Park
.
Kenora
– your gateway to the West.
