DESTINATION

Kenora

Twenty-one hand-painted murals depicting historic events adorn downtown buildings. Guided walking tours are offered by Tourism Kenora.

Surrounding more than 14,500 islands, Lake of the Woods was originally called Lake of the Islands by the Ojibway people inhabiting the region. The French, who had minimal knowledge of the Ojibway language, misinterpreted the word “island” as “wood,” and the lake's rather inappropriate name was adopted. Petroglyphs can be found around the lake as well as the city.
