Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church, Grotto, and Cemetery

Ukrainian Orthodox Church

Construction of this Ukrainian Catholic church in the Rural Municipality of Springfield began in 1930, designed by priest-architect Philip Ruh, and it was consecrated 22 years later. Reverend Ruh worked
alongside his congregation in building the largest of his remaining creations in Manitoba. He also supervised construction of the adjacent Grotto, a representation in concrete of the Grotto at Lourdes, France. 

Marine Museum of Manitoba

Marine Museum

Established in 1972 the Marine Museum of Manitoba provides visitors with a hands on, heritage experience. We tell the story of the development and the operation of marine life on Lake Winnipeg and the Red River circa 1850 to present day. Visitors get to board the actual ships that navigated the waters of the world’s tenth largest lake and will learn about how the Port of Selkirk played a vital role in the development of Manitoba.

Lac du Bonnet

Lac du bonnet

There are over 60 kilometers (35 miles) of waterways in the region. The area is the second most popular fishing region in the province; second only to the Red River. Situated at the boundary of prairie farmland and boreal forest, Lac du Bonnet is also bird watchers' paradise. Over 300 species of birds can be found within a few kilometers of the Winnipeg River. This variety is mainly due to the region's unique topography and assortment of rivers, lakes and marshes

Nestor Falls (Waterfall)

Nestor Falls

The Falls, the natural beauty which gave Nestor Falls its name, is located on Highway 71. The Falls can range from a roaring mass of water to a mere trickling depending on precipitation and season. In either case, it is a must-see in the area with numerous photo opportunities and easy access. Pack yourself a lunch and enjoy the rushing water crashing over the rocks. 

Townscape Murals

Murals

The Lake of the Woods Heritage Townscapes began in 1994 to present an outdoor gallery in Kenora. The project was to raise pride in the rich heritage of the area and create beauty in an urban setting. There are 18 remaining murals, which make history come alive for the locals and visitors.

Check out the public art murals scattered throughout downtown Kenora. You can pick up a map at the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre.

Moonbeam UFO Monument

UFO Monument

This extraterrestrial attraction is located in the town of Moonbeam, so named because years ago its citizens reported seeing strange, unidentified lights flashing in the night sky. The UFO monument is just off the main road next to the town's information centre. Pop in and pick up some alien merch (the town's mascot is named Kilo) and then snap a few pics in front of the spaceship.
