Come and discover Fort Frances and the Rainy River District, communities that have been crossroads destinations for centuries. Today’s travellers can experience great shopping, wonderful dining, and terrific accommodations. Our pristine wilderness lakes and rivers make you feel that you have stepped ashore as the first explorer. Our waters, filtered by hundreds of square miles of bullrushes, provide a safe and fun place to swim, fish, and boat. Our majestic coniferous forests are wilderness parks filled with amazing wildlife. Our winters offer snowmobiling along miles of groomed trails, ice fishing, hockey tournaments, and curling bonspiels. Cross-country ski trails provide a challenge for both novice and competent skiers.
14 Emo
Our summers offer many exciting outdoor activities. Golf at one of our award-winning courses or feel the “heat” of our weekly stock car races. Walk our fabulous waterfront, or enjoy social games of slo-pitch and soccer.

Our advertisers look forward to providing services and products that will make your visit and stay in our communities memorable.

In the Heart of Sioux NarrowsNestor Falls Let this be your guide to a fun-filled day on the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods. There is much to see and do in The Township of Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls, so let’s get started. If you Google the Township right now, you’ll come across images of pristine wilderness and small-town sites that seem to be lifted right out of a fairytale.
Stuff To Do #getoutdoors #walkatrail #packapicniclunch

Throw a frisbee. Go kayaking. Eat some s’mores. Start and end the day in the great outdoors. There are day-use areas, picnic shelters, and pristine beaches to enjoy at Sioux Narrows Provincial Park and Caliper Lake Provincial Park. In between, treat yourself to a day chocka-block full of shopping, eating, and soaking up the small-town charm that stakes a claim on the idea that “bigger isn’t always better”.
Stuff To SEE #artsfestivalinsiouxnarrows #moosenfiddleinnestorfalls
Two great events in August, starting on the long weekend with the Arts Festival in Sioux Narrows: a rare opportunity to purchase arts and crafts directly from the artisans. Come see why artists keep returning to the Arts Festival in Sioux Narrows, year after year! This cool little festival at the lake returns to Nestor Falls on August 16th and 17th with eight genre-crushing musical acts including Siouxperboat, Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir, NIce Horse, and Midnight Shine - just to name a few! Rounding out the Festival experience is an Artisans Village (crafters-of-allsorts), a craft beer tent (all proceeds supporting the Keewatin Curling Club and the Women’s Shelter Saakate House), regional food trucks serving up their incredible street eats - Gropps Meats and The Black Oven Pizza Truck. It’s all happening under a canopy of tall pines and along the water’s edge at Caliper Lake Provincial Park. For more information, visit moosenfiddle.ca
Stuff To eat #casualdining #cocktailsonthepatio #pizzatogo
By land or by water—there is something for everyone in Sioux Narrows and Nestor Falls. We’re sure you’ll agree that a visit is in store. The mere mention of “stuff to eat” evokes the thought of fish n chips, ice-cream stands, and shoreline lunches. From sun-up to sun-down, there are madgenius chefs and mixologists cooking up amazing dishes and classic cocktails.
Northern Ontario Sportfishing Centre Take a step back in time at the Northern Ontario Sportfishing Centre (NOSFC) and explore the history and heritage of the region. Here you will find de Havilland float planes, a replica of a Boston Whaler, and the Sioux Narrows wood truss bridge, in miniature and built to scale.
White Moose Golf Course Touted as one of the Top 14 golf courses in Northwestern Ontario, the White Moose Golf Course, carved out of the Whiskey Jack Forest, is a 9-hole, par-35 course. The next time you are a planning a day-trip, book a tee time, take a drive along the King’s Highway (#71), and don’t forget to pack a set of golf clubs.
