REDWATER

NAME: Redwater COUNTY: -- ROADS: 2WD GRID: 1 CLIMATE: Snow in Winter, Warm Summer. BEST TIME TO VISIT: Summer

COMMENTS: Take a canoe. REMAINS: A few buildings.

Not much is left of Redwater, but what is left is very photogenic. As a railside village, it began as a station and section community of more than a dozen houses with a bunkhouse and store. Redwater Lake was the site of a sawmill that lasted until the late 1920s. Although the site can be reached by walking along the railroad tracks, it’s easier as safer to take a canoe across the lake to the ghost town of Redwater. Submitted by: Henry Chenoweth

This is a picture of Redwater, Ontario. This was taken about 2 years ago. This is now the last original building still standing in the area. There were three others that burned down 3 years ago. This was built around 1920, it is now a hunting/fishing camp. We use it about 10-15 times a year. Courtesy Deryk Briscoe
