Husky the Muskie

Roadside photo op. Pretty good condition with some graphitti and sun fading. Nicely landscaped area with benches, shade, a lookout point to the harbour/lake. You could picnic there but it’s not a lot of space /privacy. Parking is across the road and there’s an underpass you can take. The parking area is directly across from the statue and also has picnic benches and a small playground for children along with bathrooms. There’s a little tug about there too with an interesting story and looks kind of cool. Anybody who rates this below five stars must have some delusional expectations of what a free small town mascot/photo op is.

Husky the Muskie in Kenora is a fun and iconic roadside stop that’s worth a quick visit if you’re in the area. The giant fish statue is hard to miss — it’s right by Lake of the Woods in McLeod Park and has become a local symbol of the town. The park around it is small but clean, with benches, picnic tables, and nice lake views, making it a great place for a short walk or some photos. There’s plenty of parking nearby, and it’s an easy stop if you’re exploring downtown Kenora or Norman Beach. It’s not an all-day attraction, but it’s one of those landmarks that makes the visit memorable, especially for families.

Nice little stop on your way to Kenora. The statue is well maintained and unique. But the main attraction is the surrounding park, lake and walking trail. When the weather is nice it’s really beautiful walking by the lake or just relaxing on one of the benches by the statue. There’s a geyser right in front of the statue. Car parking is available on the other side of the street and you can walk to the statue using the walkway under the bridge. There are washrooms available although not the cleanest. There’s also an old lumberjack boat next to the washrooms.

A giant pike/muskie in pretty surroundings right beside the lake. The sculpture is beautiful and well cared for in great condition. You can go right up and grab the tail. Parking is on the north east side so accessed easiest going westbound on the Trans-Canada. There are toilets there too. There is a walkway under the highway towards the river. TIP: Don't forget to visit Max the Moose in Dryden also on the Trans-Canada.

Nice fish sculpture near the water. Lots of Canadian geese. Don't get too close, and don't establish eye contact with them. Otherwise, they might attack you. I looked at one for too long, and she said "isssshhhh" like a cat and started coming toward me. 😅 There is a parking on the other side of the road. You'll need to be careful (and very patient) to cross the road since it's a very busy one.
