PICTOGRAPHS

WATERSPORTS

Pictographs are rock paintings
made by using red ochre and
date back thousands of years.
They can be seen as you explore
the lake. Many are found in
Quetico Park and on Lake of the
Woods, but can also be found
on other lakes such as Dryberry,
Lower Manitou Narrows, Wabaskang, Eagle, White Otter as well
as in Wabakimi and Woodland
Caribou Parks.

Whether you are an adrenaline
junkie and enjoy wake boarding
or like the serenity of kayaking,
Sunset Country has all sorts of
watersports to keep you busy.
Rent a SUP and paddle around
the lake for a few hours. Many
lodges will often have canoes or
kayaks onsite for you to use or
book a canoe outfitter who can
outfit you for a longer trip into a
wilderness park.

FISHING

BOATING

Nowhere else will you find the
diverse shoreline, shoals, and
rocky points that make up most
of our lakes. Consequently, that
diversity extends to the type of
fish we have to offer. On many
lakes you can catch 3, 4, 5 or
even 7 species of fish in one
day. The sheer number of fish
and the quality of our fisheries
keep anglers returning year
after year.

By cruising our waterways,
whether it be by motorboat,
houseboat or sailboat, you get
the opportunity to experience
many things you don’t see on
land. Head to a secluded beach
where you may be the only visitors, drive by a waterfall that can
only be reached by boat, or stop
by historical markers made by
early explorers. The bonus: most
of our lakes are not crowded!
