Suggested Local Attractions:Huskie the Muskie, Lake of the Woods Museum, The Muse, Discovery Center, Mather Walls House, Tug Boat McLeod Park, Tunnel Island Trail, Boat/Fishing Tours, MS Kenora. Ye Olde Chip Truck is worth a visit and has been a Kenora institution since 1957. Vernon Nature Area, Rushing River Provincial Park. For the hikers Club Minaki trail system is a great option. Kenora Golf & Country Club, Beauty Bay Golf Course, Falcon Lake Golf Course and White Moose Golf are all worthy of a round or two.

Location
Access Road Conditions: Paved right up to our property then well tended gravel road no pot holes or washboard. However with the winter of 2022 and record snow and now record rains our yard is far from perfect as it normally would be by now. We do have plenty of room to park but the beachfront area we had to CLOSE off. 1 there is no beach right now it's under 7 feet of water and 2 the ground is so soft one is guaranteed to get stuck. Unfortunately our point can not be enjoyed as it is now an island. The road in is still fine as we have hauled in several loads of new gravel and releveled it. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: Lots of room private property 20 acres Spots with power will require backing in.

Business owners for 30+ years and love Rv'ing North America Details: Very well rounded and handy to have around. Home Town: Kenora Favorite Boondocking Locations: Have yet to try this other than the occasional Walmart, just purchased a new rig with solar and a generator so see where that leads us. Skills or Expertise to Share: As business owners with a full service security/lock shop we do everything from simple key cutting to installations of entire storefront glass doors & facades. In my spare time I build and renovated properties as well as our own. Very experienced in electrical, plumbing and structure, but my forte is low voltage electronics and can make anything work if you dream it I can build it. I made a friends RV under belly compartment all remote controlled locking/unlocking each with its own button to release a door. It was a great project and fun to do. The real boss well she just loves to meet new people outside our business and RV' ers are her kind of people.

Not to take away from any of the other wonderful BDW spots I've stayed at but this was the most fun. There were lots of other campers and the host was super helpful and accomidating with hook ups. Would go back in a heartbeat!

The Ranch is a cool spot and would be a great place to stay for several days. We didn't get the chance to benefit from all the property had to offer since we came in bad weather and were there only for a day. Really convenient to have water and 30 amp power - it was super great! Nice to see deer in the morning as well :)
