In this out of way, yet most vibrant community, outdoor activities abound including boating, swimming, hiking waterskiing as well as canoeing. Yet nothing beats out there hunting for those "Killer Trophy Walleye fish". On top of that Nestor Falls now affords a scenic 9 whole waterfront golf course.
Drive onwards Easterly from Winnipeg Manitoba - with its James Richardson International Airport - with flights arriving hourly worldwide on its wide runways. From then on its a scenic jaunt , through the east Manitoban rural town of Beasejour, Whiteshell Provincial Park - Falcon Lake & West Hawk being waypoint markers, through the gargantuan Canadian glacial shield geographic areas. Then its a hop skip and a jump from the highway 71 junction southwards - in the adjacent western Canadian province of Manitoba - Nestor falls lies on the eastern shore of Lake of the Woods, directly on Sabaskong Bay. Rich in history and wilderness , Nestor has become a most favored destination for fishing and hunting enthusiasts for fishing and hunting enthusiasts from all over North America - both the USA , Canada as well as international visitors from as diverse areas as Europe and Asia. The town itself is named after a logger whose surname itself, was actually "Nestor". Mr. Nestor set up camp here in the very early 20'Th century and used the falls themselves to "drop" logs into Lake of the Woods.
Although officially located on world famous "Lake of the Woods", the town itself is surrounded by myriads of other lakes. The giant glaciers of the last ice age carried off the topsoil to southern climes , and the vast prairies of the Dakotas, leaving solid granite rock with pockmarks and potholes - all which became the most scenic and serene clear water lakes. Add to the mix jackpines. Jackpines trees burst their pine cones in the hot hot forest fires. Jack-pines then fill the void left by the forest fires. In this way nature - and specifically Canadian Shield nature renews itself.
Known by many avid anglers as "Muskie Capital of the World", Nestor Falls is yet a year round attraction with activities to suit any avid outdoor enthusiast. Lakes in the region are "teeming" with fish such as Muskie (of course), Walleye and Bass fish. Nestor and the surrounding regions all the way up the Wabigoon River system offer fantastic hunting opportunities. Be it for beginner or the most avid sportsmen. It seems that among sports-men its always big game hunting season and one giant hunting game. In the winter-time months these same wonderful lakes and wooded trails provide access to ice fishing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling.
No doubt about it - Nestor Falls has become so popular and its reputation become so widespread that cottage prices now ranges of $ 100,000 US. While it is true that buying a summer cottage or year round home can become a little steep for some families. The option is for many instead of buying vacation real estate is to use the surrounding lakes and fishing / hunting lodges.
