Devil's Gap Rock

Devil's Gap Rock on Lake of the Woods

Aboriginals believe certain rocks inhabit spirits. Devil’s Gap Rock, however, is not such a rock. It was painted in 1894 by two brothers as a prank and has since been repainted over the years by area residents. Despite the fact it is not a ‘Spirit Rock’ this particular rock at Devil’s Gap continues to be a popular attraction as it stands guard at the opening to the Devil’s Gap, a narrow channel that boaters heading out on Lake of the Woods from Kenora pass.

Turtle Portage

The Turtle Portage Marine Railway System

The Turtle Portage Marine Railway System allows boaters to cross from Sabaskong Bay on Lake of the Woods to Whitefish Bay on Lake of the Woods. If not for this shortcut, boaters wanting to go from Whitefish Bay to Sabaskong Bay would have to boat the long journey around the Aulneau Peninsula. That trip is over 145 km (90 miles)! The only reason The Aulneau peninsula is a peninsula is the narrow piece of land at Turtle Portage.
