ioux Narrows

Sioux Narrows is a small resort community located on the shores of Lake of the Woods and Highway 71. There are about 300 permanent residents, and about double that in the summer time when cottagers from Ontario, Manitoba, and the United States come for vacation. Tourism is the primary industry, with many resorts in the near vicinity, including Tomahawk Resort [ [http://www.tomahawkresort.com] ] , Lebron's Long Bay Camp [ [http://www.lebrons.com] ] , Totem Resorts [ [http://www.totemresorts.com] ] , White Birch Lodge, and Red Indian Lodge

In the mid-18th century, an Ojibwa-Cree alliance is said to have defeated an invading party of Sioux at a narrows here on the lake. Sioux Narrows is named in recognition of that event. The Sioux Narrows Bridge, a historic structure on Highway 71 which was reconstructed in 2007, overlooks the site of the battle.

Nestor Falls

Nestor Falls held the status of designated place in the Canada 2006 Census, with a population of 290.
