The Omimi Trail, from the Ojibwe word for pigeon, is the Path of the Paddle section that follows the lakes and rivers of the Ontario-Minnesota border between Partridge Falls on the Pigeon River and Northern Light Lake. The Path of the Paddle Association gives it as about 100 km. On the Canadian side the shoreline falls within La Verendrye Provincial Park, a narrow waterway park, while the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness lines the American side for the whole distance. North Fowl Lake has Crown land campsites and a portage west to Moose Lake, and the association notes a carry of about 3.2 km between Rose and Watap lakes. At the west end, Northern Light Lake has an outfitter and camping, and the Quetico section continues from there toward the park's southern ranger station and Atikokan. Paddlers coming from Lake Superior reach North Fowl Lake by land links from Pigeon River Provincial Park.
