#7 long weekend road trip

Manitoba to Ontario

You’re going to love Kenora

In under 3 hours, you can be out of Winnipeg and into the heart of ‘Sunset Country.” Kenora is a great outdoor escape, with plenty to do for adventure-lovers. The 210km drive takes you across province lines and into a whole new world.

Kenora is great for outdoor adventure, fishing and breweries.

Hacker tip

Don’t worry about stocking up on brews before you hit the road — Kenora is home to an outpost of the Lake of the Woods Brewing Company (which also has a store in Winnipeg). Stop in for a brew and pizza before hitting the trails at Tunnel Island or Mink Bay.
