Fishing & Boating in the Northwoods

Lake of the Woods

"The Walleye Capital of the World"

In all of Minnesota, one of the truly unique places is the incredibly beautiful area of international waters encompassing Lake of the Woods and Rainy River (The historic Rainy River is the original highway of the famed Voyageurs – it linked the Great Lake with the northern waterways of Canada). Imagine the serenity available with 65,000 miles of shoreline, over 14,000 islands and more than 300,000 acres of world-class fishing! Imagine a body of water and a wilderness so huge, a lifetime of exploration may not be sufficient to discover it all. Choose from exciting vistas, interesting archeological sites, numerous natural resources, endless opportunities for recreation, captivating cultural experiences, or relax with soothing sunsets.

All four seasons provide breathtaking scenery, a vast variety of terrain that never seems to duplicate itself, a multitude of flora and fauna and ample availability of rewarding travel experience for everyone. Perhaps you have already sampled the joys of Northern Lights or the call of a loon from a lonely bay, or have been thrilled with the fight of that giant game-fish on the end of your fishing line. Perhaps you are considering your very first trip north. Either way, Lake of the Woods, Minnesota can supply you with memories for a lifetime… join us for an unforgettable vacation!

Fishing since the age of eight.  Seriously writing since the age of 16. Chef and foodie from the age of 22 years… and counting. So much to learn and so little time. I have enjoyed every minute of it all.  Whether on the water (where I like it best), in the kitchen, or at the keyboard, churning out content, I feel like I have found my place.  I am sharing it with you in the hope that some of what I love to do will rub off on you. I hope to see you On the Lake!
