Nature Trails – Hiking and Walking Eco-Tours

Kenora’s Recreational Trails and the surrounding Regional Trails offer an outdoor experience for all your senses.  You get to see the great northwest in all it’s natural glory, you get to feel the solitude and the “one with nature” familiarity of life in the wild,  you get to smell the fresh air and the Lake of the Woods itself and you get to encounter wildlife in their environment.  You get to experience all of this in our back yard.
