Ear Falls pairs small-town ease with big-outdoor energy along the English River and Lac Seul, where glassy mornings give way to afternoons of boating, paddling, and reel-screaming walleye and northern pike. Weekend plans often start at the boat launch and end around a campfire under brilliant night skies. Nearby, Pakwash Provincial Park offers sandy beaches, roomy campsites, and stellar stargazing, while the island-dotted backcountry of Lac Seul Provincial Park rewards paddlers and anglers with quiet coves and classic boreal scenery.
Families appreciate practical amenities close to home. Ear Falls Public School is part of the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, and regional healthcare is anchored by Red Lake Margaret Cochenour Memorial Hospital a short drive north in Red Lake. The local economy blends forestry, tourism, and clean energy—highlighted by Ontario Power Generation’s Ear Falls Generating Station on the English River—creating a range of year-round opportunities.
Getting around is straightforward: Highway 105 links the community to services in Dryden and the wider Kenora area, yet trails, boat routes, and winter snowmobile corridors keep residents outdoors in every season. Whether you’re drawn by trophy fishing, quiet mornings on the water, or a friendly school-to-rink routine, life here revolves around nature and neighborly connection.
