Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls

After Dark

SIOUX NARROWS PROVINCIAL PARK & CALIPER LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Nestled in Regina Bay is a little, hidden gem – beautiful and lush Sioux Narrows Provincial Park. It is picturesque and peaceful. Sioux Narrows Provincial Park is ideal for the lake lover: boating, swimming, sailing, and world-class fishing eagerly await. If a quiet get-away is what you seek, look no further than the woodsy oasis on Caliper Lake. Walk among Caliper’s towering old-growth red and white pine trees. Both parks offer welcoming day-use areas: sandy beaches for swimming and open green spaces for throwing a frisbee.

Playgrounds and a covered pavilion with barbecues offer amenities to help create an unforgettable experience with family and friends.

NORTHERN LIGHTS Did you know that most of the Township of Sioux Narrows Nestor Falls is located in a dark sky area? Dark sky locations are areas where there is little to no light pollution. Why does this matter? Well, this makes for some of the best star gazing and Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) viewing!

When one is at a large town or city, building and street lights can obscure your chance of seeing these natural wonders.

However, when you are at a dark sky location, such as Sioux Narrows – Nestor Falls, and the conditions are right, you can observe constellations, the Milky Way, meteor showers and the dancing skies of the Aurora Borealis. And, you don’t need any special equipment to do so!

here are a few tips 1. Check the weather forecast to ensure clear skies; 2. Try to go out when there is little to no moonlight. The moon, especially when it’s full or near to, brightens the sky and can make it difficult or impossible to see the Aurora and many of the stars; 3. Similar to an outdoor adventure during the day, plan accordingly. If you are venturing away from your home, cottage or campground, tell someone where you are going and when to expect you back (and, be familiar with the area you are going so as to avoid hazards, getting lost and so you don’t trespass or disturb anyone); 4. Make sure you dress accordingly, bring extra clothing (it can get cold at night, even in the summer), bring water (or hot chocolate), a snack, a headlamp or flashlight, some insect repellent and perhaps a folding chair or blanket to sit on; 5. If you are a photography enthusiast, try to take a photo; 6. If you do see the Aurora and it appears to move slowly at first, keep watch, as it can spontaneously become very active; and, 7. The Aurora normally appears to rise above the Northern horizon, there are times of intensified activity when it can be seen in all directions, and even directly above.

Remember, Sioux Narrows – Nestor Falls and the Lake of the Woods area is not only spectacular to see during the day, our outdoors are amazing at night too!

Mountain bike riders and hikers heed the call of old-growth pine forests with their myriad of trails and leafy landscapes.

There are easy and challenging trails in Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls. If you want some time away from it all, lace up your hiking boots and head outdoors. The boreal forest is home to abundant wildlife, flora and fauna. Don’t forget to bring your camera. Before you go, it is best to let someone know that you are making a trek. Let them know where you are headed and how long you expect to be away. It is always a good idea to pack “survival kit” essentials in your backpack – just in case.

With 14,522 islands and more than 100,000km of shoreline, Lake of the Woods lures fisherpeople, from all walks of life, to set a hook and catch one of the big five.

‘My Sioux Narrows’ and ‘My Nestor Falls’ is a call to all outdoor enthusiasts. Northwestern Ontario is famous for its natural beauty and unspoiled wilderness. For many people – the great outdoors is only experienced by liking or commenting on Facebook and Instagram. Reconnect to the earth, water and sky. Explore local history and ancient old-growth forests.

Walk on trails carved out of the pre-cambrian rock, following in the footsteps of Indigenous peoples who have called this place home for a millennium.

There are many ways to get out on the water. So, if you don’t have a 24’ bass boat with a 150hp Mercury outboard, don’t fret. Paddling into the wilderness, fishing from a canoe and then going back to camp to enjoy a backcountry fish fry is a special experience. If you’re up for a trip like this, a trip to Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls will not disappoint. Here you will find beautiful scenery, pristine wilderness, and – of course – bountiful fish will give you the expedition of your life.

A Gathering Place KAY-NAH-CHI-WAH-NUNG HISTORICAL CENTRE Just beyond the borders of the Township of Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls is a place of great history. If you are visiting our small Township – make plans to extend your stay and take a step back in time. At Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung, you are about to explore over 8,000 years of recurring use of habitation through the eyes of the Ojibway people.

“The Ojibway people of Rainy River First Nations welcome you to one of the most significant centres of early habitation and ceremonial burial in Canada. Kay-NahChi-Wah-Nung, the Place of the Long Rapids, is a place of outstanding beauty and spirituality.

The Centre offers interpretive tours and galleries, a collections space, a gift

shop that showcases artwork by local Indigenous artists, and a restaurant that serves traditional Ojibway cuisine.

Visitors are encouraged to learn about Ojibway history, language, geography, culture and traditions.

Designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1970, its importance has been acknowledged for generations by all cultures and peoples who have lived, travelled, and admired the majestic Manidoo Ziibi or Spirit River (Rainy River), The Place of the Long Rapids has deep cultural and spiritual meaning to Indigenous peoples throughout North America. The Ojibway people of the Rainy River First Nations are the guardians of this rich heritage, a legacy that has been passed on through the

generations and will continue through our grandchildren.

Located only 65km from the headwaters of the Mississippi River, this was the centre of a vibrant continent-wide trading network. Here, people gathered to trade, share, celebrate, and mourn.” 1

Turtle Island

Turtle Island - where’s that? Turtle Island might sound like an exotic island far away in the Caribbean Sea, but it’s actually what some Indigenous people call the continent of North America, while others, such as the Ojibway, use it to refer to the whole world.

The name Turtle Island comes from First Nations folklore.

Many storytellers share a creation story and it is widely believed that the turtle is part of a story about how everything came to be.

Did you know that many folktales all over the world, feature a turtle? In African folklore, the turtle is the smartest animal. In Chinese mythology, the turtle is a very powerful symbol. And, in Tahiti, the turtle is the lord of the oceans.

Falls welcome you to the traditional territory of the Ojibway people. Here, we all follow in the footsteps of their ancestors.

“It’s good to know that Turtle Island was occupied by First Nations people since time immemorial. We’ve always been here,” says Yerxa. Allan Yerxa is the land and resources coordinator for Couchiching First Nation and was instrumental in the development and creation of the Canadian First Nations pre-European contact map of Turtle Island.

We encourage all visitors to learn more about the Indigenous people who call Canada home: discover their great traditions, language and cultural ways by attending community feasts and Pow Wows! Let your explorations bring to light the interconnectedness of all people and all things.

Honouring and sharing stories and legends brings all of us closer together. The communities of Sioux Narrows-Nestor
