Anicinabe Beach

Managed by Swim Drink Fish Canada - Great Lakes Guide

This sandy beach has washrooms, change rooms, showers, playground, BBQ pit, shelter, small concession and campsites nearby. There are canoe and kayak rentals. You can drive or boat to the beach as there are docking spaces and parking. One of Kenora's official trails, the Rat Portage Urban Trail, meanders through the park and leads you to the City Centre where you can find fine dining, shopping, the Kenora Recreation Centre, with indoor pool and the Lake of the Woods Museum. You can enjoy the many special events held on the Harbourfront and see the extraordinary site of Husky the Muskie, a 40 foot, 2.5 ton pike looking as if it had just jumped out of the Lake of the Woods.

Source Information

Northwestern Health Unit samples beaches monthly from early June to late August. As of 2018, Ontario beaches are following the Operational Approaches for Recreational Water Guideline, 2018, and the Recreational Water Protocol, 2018, for geometric mean and single-sample maximum parameters. These are now equivalent to those set out in the Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality – Third Edition, 2012: Geometric mean concentration (minimum of five samples): 200 E. coli/100 mL. Single-sample maximum concentration: ? 400 E. coli/100 mL. (These values replace the previous, more stringent Ontario standard: a geometric mean of 100 E. coli/100 mL.)

A beach is marked Green when the geometric mean of 5 samples collected within a 30-day period is below 200 E. coli / 100 ml of water and the single sample value is below 400 E.coli/100mL. A beach is marked Red when the geometric mean of 5 samples collected within a 30-day period exceeds 200 E. coli / 100 ml of water and/or exceeds the single sample value of 400 E.coli/100mL. A beach is marked Grey when reliable or up-to-date information is not available. DISCLAIMER: Historical data from 2017 and prior reflect the previous Ontario standard of a geometric mean of 100 E. coli /100 mL. Historical data from 2018 onward reflect the new Ontario Operational Approaches for Recreational Water Guideline, 2018: Geometric mean concentration 200 E. coli/ 100 mL and single-sample maximum concentration of 400 E. coli /100 mL.
