Kenora Snowmobile Trails

The small city of Kenora, originally strangely named Rat Portage, is located on the picturesque Lake of the Woods in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, near the Manitoba border and approximately 125 miles east of Winnipeg. The city offers hundreds of miles of well-groomed snowmobile trails, open November through February, and maintained by the Sunset Trail Riders Snowmobiling Club. Be sure to purchase your permit before you go, either online on the Sunset Trail Riders website or at a participating Kenora retailer.
