There’s a reason Lake Superior has been referred to as an inland ocean and you’ll discover that for yourself when you visit this immensely beautiful Great Lake. Called gichigamiing or “The Big Lake” by the Anishinaabe people of the region and known for its furious storms, the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area will soon be recognized as one of the largest protected areas of fresh water in the world.

The Lake of the Woods Museum was established in 1964 and tells the stories of the people who have made Kenora and Lake of the Woods their home from the beginning of time to today.  The museum features artifacts and stories related to the history of Kenora, the Lake of the Woods, and our many surrounding communities.  From pre-history to the town’s wild west beginnings, the Lake of the Woods Museum is sure to entertain and educate.  

The Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre has recently acquired various display components to enhance the delivery of its mandate to become not only a Travel Services Centre, but a Tourism destination in itself.
