Tourism is an important part of the economy of Red Lake. There are many lakes, beaches, parks and a beautiful 18 hole golf course for your summer pleasure. Cross country skiing and snow machining in the winter are easily accessible to visitors and residents.
We lay claim to being the "Norseman Capital of the World" and we celebrate this every July with the Norseman Festival.

Many visiting Norseman aircraft join us to participate in the static and performance displays on Howey Bay.
The Red Lake area offers great fishing and hunting along with one of the best-kept ecotourism sites in the world - Woodland Caribou Provincial Park.
