Rainy Lake

Rainy Lake is one of Ontario's hidden gems, located close to the town of Fort Frances and straddling the US-Canada border. Massive white and red pine trees border the rocky shorelines, which are home to waterfowl of all kinds as well as bears, moose, wolves, and beavers. The lake offers excellent walleye, bass, and northern pike fishing. You'll have a fair chance of catching a trophy-sized version of any of these three if you know where to look.

Each summer, the pure water gets warmer. Although there aren't many beaches in the area, Pither's Point Park in Fort Frances or Sandpoint Island is some of your best options for a swim on a sandy shore if you're on a boat.

Both sides of the border should consider visiting the lake's attractions. Two mermaid statues and Kettle Falls, both of which are well-liked boating sites, are a couple of the key attractions. Cottages are also located on the lake, albeit they are dispersed and appear to be relatively rare. Rainy Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Ontario.
