How to get here

After crossing the bridge into Canada at International Falls, take Highway 11 east for 20 miles, turn left onto highway 502 and go 25 miles, turn left at the Cedar Narrows Road (gravel) and go 29 KM, turn left at the Esox Landing sign and go approximately 1 mile to the Esox Lake landing. 
When boating in, the ride will be approx. 18 miles. Some helpful maps are: the 1:50,000 Canadian Topographic System maps.  Map 52 F/3 will detail out the boat-in area of Esox Lake and the Manitou Stretch which leads to the Lower Manitou and Barker Bay.  Map 52 F/7 details most of the Lower Manitou, the Manitou Straits and the Upper Manitou.  Maps may be available at Rainy Lake Sports in Fort Frances and at the "Great Bear" convenience store 12 miles east of Fort Frances on Highway 11.
