The six small communities of the Red Lake District (Red Lake, Balmertown, Cochenour, Madsen/Starratt-Olsen and McKenzie Island) formally amalgamated to form the Municipality of Red Lake. Strategically located at the end of Highway 105 in the upper northwest corner of Ontario in Canada's Heartland, the population is approaching 5000. Services include hospital and medical facilities, dentists, pharmacy, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, liquor and beer outlets, service stations and major automobile dealerships, department stores, banks, marine dealers, building supply centres and numerous small businesses to cater to your every need.
Red Lake is the gateway to Woodland Caribou Park. This massive wilderness park spans over 450,000 hectares and features some of the best canoe and paddling routes around. The Park is also home to the largest concentration of pictographs in the Canadian Shield.
Whether you are spending time at a local drive-in camp or using Red Lake as a jumping-off point for fly-in lodges or outposts farther north, we have everything anglers and hunters need for a great vacation, including air connections. The abundance of lakes in the area provide excellent fishing opportunities to catch a trophy walleye, northern pike, trout, muskie, perch or whitefish.
As moose habitat is plentiful, the Red Lake area offers moose hunters one of the highest success rates in Canada. There are also excellent opportunities for bear and small game hunting.
Each summer, the community celebrates Norseman Days, and boasts the largest gathering of airworthy Norseman aircraft in the world. In fact, this sturdy Canadian bushplane has come to symbolize our community. Come join us!
