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. Some are believed to be 800 to 1,200 years old. 

While you’re in town, take a drive to Kinsman Beach. This secluded public beach is perfect for an afternoon of relaxation. Soak up the sun on the sandy shores and take a dip in the sparkling and unspoiled waters of Red Lake. And no visit to this community would be complete without spending some time in Norseman Heritage Park where the suspended Norseman aircraft overlooks Howey Bay. This is a picturesque park in any season and features informational plaques outlining our aviation history and covered pavilions to relax.
