Take Trans-Canada Highway 1 to drive to get here. We are approximately 200 kms east of Winnipeg and 500 kms northwest of Thunder Bay. If you are travelling from the south, Highway 71 connects to the Trans-Canada Highway just outside of city limits. To finally reach the City of Kenora, you will need to take the by-pass Highway 17A. The by-pass runs directly through Kenora where you can refuel and rest.
Kenora Airport is located 9 km northeast of Kenora and features the Lake of the Woods Museum artifacts and local art inside the award-winning new terminal. The major airline carrier operating out of the Kenora Airport is Bearskin Airlines.
If you’re looking to get into the heart of the wilderness, you’ll need to book a float plane. Book a day charter or a fly-in fishing experience with River Air or Walsten Outposts.
In the spirit of reconciliation, the City of Kenora acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Metis of Treaty #3. The City of Kenora was originally the land base of one collective First Nation community, which was separated into three communities now known as Wauzhushk Onigum, Niisaachewan, and Washagamis Bay First Nations. Kenora now sustains many others, all of whom have been welcomed to peacefully share and care for these ancestral Lands and Waters.
To support stewardship of the land, the City recognizes the importance of a strong relationship with our Treaty #3 partners. The City of Kenora acknowledges that our economy greatly benefits from the Anishinaabe and Metis that live in and around the city.
