RouteXpert Review
The route on day 13 runs from Kenora to Ignace and winds through pristine forests, passing lakes, some beautiful rock walls and rivers. We leave Kenora in a northerly direction to drive via the Gould Road (RP2) and Transmitter road (RP3) to the junction with the Trans Canada Highway. We take this road because this is a beautiful winding provincial road along a number of small lake and with rocks, trees and hills.
We also drive on a nice narrow winding road around Hilly lake (RP5). Please note, because some parts are unpaved. Between the trees you can occasionally catch a glimpse of the lake.
After this diversion we drive back on the Trans Canada Highway, the road is well paved, two lanes wide and winds through a beautiful landscape with hills, forests, many lakes and rivers. There are several options along the way to stop and enjoy the panorama and to take a photo.
You pass a few small settlements, one of which is Fort Vermillion (RP14) where you can take a break and have a drink in one of the restaurants. The other town is Dreyden (RP16) where you can have lunch.
There are no sights along the route to stop a bit longer. But nevertheless this ride is enjoyable because of the beautiful Trans Canada Highway through a beautiful and varied landscape. That is why I rate this route with 3 *** Stars.
