  • Birch Bark CanoeThe birch bark canoe was the main mode of transporting goods vast distances via waterways. Created by the aboriginals that inhabited the lands, the birch bark canoes were later used by the voyageurs, or coureur des bois.

    The voyageurs, fur traders of European descent traded European goods with aboriginals for beaver and other animal pelts.

    theA pow-wow (also powwow or pow wow or pau wau) is a gathering of North Americas Native people. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning spiritual leader.

    A modern pow-wow is a specific type of event where both Native American and non-Native American people meet to dance, sing, socialize, and honour Aboriginal culture. Pow-wows vary in length from one day sessions of five to six hours to three days. Major pow-wows or pow-wows called for a special occasion can be up to one week long.

    There is no shortness of First Nations culture to experience in the Rainy River District. Take a trip out to the Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Historical Cen-tre, where you will learn more about First Nation culture and tradition. If you have the chance check out a local pow-wow.

    The skies were clear and the trees be-ginning to bloom. Traffic seemed to be heading towards Rainy Lake, lugging boats to cabins and rods to water. We opted for a day trip through North-western Ontario starting in Fort Frances and ending in Sioux Narrows. With our map sprawled across the dashboard, our 139km journey was underway.As we pulled onto the highway, it became clear that the biggest challenge wed face would be turning back for home. It seemed as though we had only been driving for a few minutes when we rolled into Emo.For a town of 1,200 people, the amenities and activities were countless.We parked the car and made our way to Lions Park on the Rainy River waterfront. Children were running through the spray park, their families feasting on burgers in the sun.After stretching for a while, we hopped back into our car and continued heading west. We had our final destination in mind, but we were excited for the journey. We veered right to view the Norlund Chapel off Hwy 11/71. The building didnt stand tall in comparison to the ancient trees around it, but the piles of visitor logs within the chapel did. Tourists from around the world scribbled their name in guest books, leaving testa-ments to its history behind. Each of the photos displayed resembled ours, as the building has been maintained since its inception in 1973. The 8x10 chapel was a photo opportunity we couldnt pass by. We were en route to our next destination, when we decided to slow down our jour-ney to experience some local culture. The Rainy River First Nations Pow-Wow Grounds, built in 2010, served as a won-derful testament to the aboriginal culture in the area. Despite the fact that there wasnt a pow wow going on, the architec-ture was stunning and we felt inspired to venture back in June, for their annual Pow-Wow.We welcomed the sun when we stopped and dipped our toes in Caliper Lake. Shaded by the mature red and white

    pines, the provin-cial park is a great place to picnic on a hot summer day.Next stop, Nestor Falls. Bird watchers from all over the world stop to marvel at the wildlife soaring through the sky and gliding over water. The falls came down heavy and frothing at the bottom a true provincial treasure.We marvelled over the peli-cans, listened to the soothing sounds of the falls and mingled with others making their way through the landmark. We were hesitant to leave, but hunger called. We stopped at Moniques Log Cabin, a favourite local restaurant. We relaxed with a delicious log burger on the patio, while visiting with tourists from Minnesota, Moniques is an annual stop for them. After lunch, we turned off to take in a bit of Bass Lake Park a scenic park with a sloping sand beach, we could hear the cheers of a baseball game in the dis-tance, while we searched the beach for hidden treasures. We noticed signs for hiking trails, with one more place to visit before we turned around, we figured we might as well stop. After reviewing our three options, we opted for the shortest of the three, Red Pine Trail. The paths were clearly marked, which made it easy to navigate our way through the trails. We loaded into the car once more bound for Sioux Narrowsone of Canadas best kept secrets. Countless canoes made their way over Lake of the Woods, one of the worlds largest inland freshwater lakes. The township sits along part of the lakes 65,000 mile shoreline and provides a great fishing destination. A round of golf, sightseeing and a trip to the fishing centre consumed the remainder of our afternoon. Before we knew it, it was time to leave behind human history and geographical gems to retrace our path back home.

  • Packed with fun outdoor exercise equipment this is a great way to take that boring workout to a whole new level. interested? turn North on Hill road immediately after the train tracks.

    With over 2 miles of cobblestone walkway, built against the banks of rainy river, La Verendrye Parkway makes for a remarkable walking path along the waterfront, directly across from the u.s. Along this path stop and explore the Hallet. Now a heritage site, the Hallet was the largest, most powerful tug boat used on rainy Lake. While on the wa-terfront, take the time to climb the 100 foot lookout tower and take in the spectacular views of rainy Lake and Fort Frances.

    beach gently sloping into rainy Lake, its

    a favourite amongst visitors and locals

    alike. Want a snap-shot to start off the
