We are now in Kenora. Which despite being a lumber town, is seriously beautiful

Well who knew. Kenora is kickass beautiful.  Not so much the town itself which is a decently prosperous mining and lumber town founded in the 19th century, but the setting on Lake of the Woods with flotilla of islands out in the bay and a curving coastline around which the town spreads.  Like Huntsville the population booms in the summer as people move into their cottages.

Original name of Kenora was Rat Portage, which for some reason (although it sounds better in French) they changed in 1905 to Kenora, when the amalgamated three towns on the shoreline.

Bit of a drive from Toronto though.

Brewer's Inn in Kenora.  Nice place on the TCH in town.
