RED LAKE A visit to Red Lake offers you the opportunity to experience the intriguing nature of the Northern Canadian lifestyle. Located at the terminus of Highway 105, the Red Lake area has earned a strong reputation as a fishing destination – there are literally thousands of lakes surrounding the community – and these lakes support healthy populations of walleye, pike, and lake trout. Red Lake is the gateway to world-famous Woodland Caribou Provincial Park – a paddler’s paradise! A must-visit when in town is the Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre, a beautiful building with high-end exhibits showcasing the area’s past – including indigenous culture and mining histo- ry. If you love festivals then make sure you plan on attending the Norseman Float Plane Festival held every July. Bring your clubs and play the most northernly 18-hole golf course in Ontario.
