The Migizi Trail, named with the Ojibwe word for eagle, is the Path of the Paddle section between Lake of the Woods at Keewatin, next to Kenora, and the City of Dryden. It mixes river, lake and creek travel through Rushing River, Eagle-Dogtooth and Winnange Lake provincial parks, crosses Eagle Lake and reaches Wabigoon Lake at Dryden. Northern Ontario's tourism agency describes a backcountry leg from Highwind Lake east to Vermilion Bay by way of Porcus, Geejay, Manomin, Winnange and Eagle lakes, past old red pine stands and rock cliffs. Rushing River Provincial Park and Dogtooth Lake suit day outings, and shorter tours are possible on Eagle Lake, Wabigoon Lake or Lake of the Woods. The Path of the Paddle Association lists the trail at 199 km, while other sources give between 125 and 225 km depending on the endpoints they use, so check the current planning map before you set a schedule.
