Water Trail Proposed


A water route through a part of the Rainy River district is being considered as part of the Trans Canada Trail.

The Path of the Paddle would take paddlers through five provincial parks including Quetico and Turtle River, linking the communities of Kenora, Dryden, Atikokan and Neebing..

Project manager Vicki Kurz says it will help capitalize on a growing eco-tourism industry.

An information session will be held July 17 in Atikokan to seek out partners.
