Welcome to the Marten Falls First Nation Community Website! Serving all community members, this site will be a source of news and information.

"Our River, Our Life"

Marten Falls is a fly-in community located on the Albany River, which provides access to numerous rivers and lakes. These waterways are wonderful for fishing in summer or winter. The land also offers ideal grounds for hunting and camping. Albany River’s waters make for exciting canoeing and white-water rafting. There is a boat launch and dock to facilitate access to boats and float planes.

The Marten Falls First Nation reserve is located at the intersection of the Ogoki and Albany Rivers. It is approximately 400km to the northeast of Thunder Bay. The closest city with year-long road access is Nakina, which is located approximately 160 km to the south. The location of the land makes it a combination of swampy areas and drier, treeless areas. The close proximity to the rivers coupled with forests full of White Spruce, Cedar, Balsam, Pine and Tamarack trees allow both ecosystems to thrive.

Numerous fish species including pickerel, trout, pike, whitefish and sturgeon and animals such as caribou, bears, moose, beavers, martens, etc. are native to the Marten Falls reserve land. The community is in the northern temperate zone, which means it experiences short warm summers and long cold winters.

Hockey is a big part of the community. There is an arena that is used for sporting and other community events. Hockey is played evenings and weekends during the winter. In the summer, the arena is used for powwows, volleyball, and floor hockey. There is a regular game and card night. People also engage in outdoor recreation such as snowmobiling, hunting, fishing and camping.
