Once you arrive, there is no mistaking that you are in Canada's north; free, rugged, wild and breathtaking. This is the Land of Little Sticks, where spruce trees have been shaped by the forces of nature. Retreating glaciers scarred the landscape leaving behind eskers. Today, these eskers are illustrations of the force of nature and present unique eco-tourism opportunities. The Lynn Lake area is home to a variety of wildlife, and along with the lakes and rivers surrounding Lynn Lake, world-class angling and hunting opportunities exist. The beautiful surroundings, supported by our businesses and community services, attract tourists year-round. With affordable housing, cabins, serviced lots and commercial properties along with employment opportunities, new residents and investors are also attracted to Lynn Lake. Mining created the community of Lynn Lake. Town founders developed several open-pit and underground mines that have tapped into the mineral wealth. The Lynn Lake Greenstone Belt is well-known among the mining community and attracts many persons associated with the industry. Lynn Lake is a community proud of our mining heritage, and of the culture of the Aboriginal peoples. Special events celebrate and promote the vibrancy and vitality of the aboriginal culture. |
