Nolalu,
undiscovered beauty located
in the heart of Northern Lights Country.
North
Land Lumber railed here over 100 years ago, that is where
the name No La Lu came from ( good for a song).
The PD (Pee Dee) rail line
was built because silver mining in this area was huge.The train would
transport silver, lumber and agricultural products like milk to Port Arthur.
The idea with this rail line was connecting NW Ontario Canada to Minnesota
US , or Port Arthur to Duluth. It actually was only finished on the Ontario
side.
The train stopped at many small stations, with fantastic names like
Silver Mountain Station, Nolalu, Hillside and many more.
The PD rail line
is long gone but the communities around its stations are still there. Visit
North West Ontario include Nolalu and area, that is if you can find
it, (
a map here helps). Discover
its winding country roads, surprisingly beautiful lakes for fishing /
swimming and canoeing and who knows you might hear the echo of a train
whistle from the disappearing rail line that never would reach Duluth.
Or.. shall we change history.. and hike from Thunder Bay to Duluth over
the old rai.. oh well that hike trail is not there yet. But any thing
is possible in this area.
This
web site is for connecting talents and skills in the local area and to
hopefully improve the local economy, by making businesses visible to residents
visitors and tourists.
