Located east of Kenora, Ontario, at Northern Harbour, Northern Yacht club offers keel boaters the chance to race and cruise together on scenic Lake of the Woods.

Northern offers lessons in both dinghies and private instruction on keelboats. Their racing series is quite extensive, offering a combination of round-the-buoy races and pursuit-style keelboat racing.
Their series of group cruises is very attractive, so much that power boaters are joining in. Organized cruising set for this summer includes the summer solstice cruise in mid-June, a Canada Day cruise, a Which Bay cruise in mid-July, the Queen Island treasure hunt cruise in mid-August and the Labour Day long-weekend cruise.

The yacht club has access to meeting space at Northern Harbour, and all boaters who dock there can use the marina's showers and washroom facilities. Gas and oil sales, pump-outs, boat launching and winter storage are also available.

The club hosts an ice breaker social in May, followed by the Spring Sea Feaver cup races in June and September, plus spring and fall dinners. Many club members race in the Lake of the Woods International Sailing Association (LOWISA) regatta in August.
