Rainy River District Nature Trails


Welcome to Rainy River District!

The Rainy River District is the part of Sunset Country that is directly adjacent to the American border and is where we welcome our many visitors from the United States. Within the District are three communities where you can spend a few days doing a whole bunch of exciting things. Fort Frances, Ontario is the sister city to International Falls, Minnesota and is the main border entry point into Sunset Country. Emo, situated between the Fort and the Town of Rainy River is a service community that offers access to great fishing on the Rainy River. The Town of Rainy River is at the very southwest part of Ontario, across the border from Baudette, Minnesota and another significant entry point for American visitors traveling to the region.
