Red Lake: Highway 105 near Highway 125, Looking South

Red Lake lies along the shores of its namesake lake, where boreal forest and exposed Canadian Shield rock meet a broad inland waterway. Set in northwestern Ontario, the town is a service centre for a remote region of lakes, forests and fly-in communities. Gold discoveries during the 1920s brought prospectors to the area and established the mining identity that still distinguishes Red Lake today; the surrounding district remains associated with Canadian gold production. Boating, fishing and floatplanes are part of the area's northern rhythm, while Highway 105 connects the community with Ontario's road network.
