Lake of the Woods, Minnesota
Consistently ranked among the best fishing lakes in Minnesota and the upper Midwest, Lake of the Woods is the Walleye Capital of the World® — and it earns that title every season. Four seasons of world-class fishing, 50+ resorts, and a strong network of guides, charters and full service ice fishing opportunities. Whatever time of year you come, you're arriving at the right time.
There are three areas to Lake of the Woods, the south shore, Rainy River and Northwest Angle.
The south shore overlooks Big Traverse Bay, the big basin of Lake of the Woods loaded with millions of walleyes and saugers. It is home to a variety of resorts, each with its own unique charm. From cozy cabins to full-service lodges, many resorts offer warm hospitality and delicious food, where welcoming bars provide the perfect place to unwind with your favorite drink after a day of exploring.
The Rainy River offers world class fishing. The spring and fall walleye run in the Rainy River creates some of the best fishing in the world. The lake sturgeon fishing is world class, smallmouth bass and pike are in good numbers. Each season brings a fresh round of activity to the Rainy. Dive into the allure of the Rainy River, where a collection of resorts await, offering a haven for avid anglers.
The Northwest Angle, also known as “the Angle,” is located on the northern portion of Minnesota's Lake of the Woods. It is the northernmost point of the contiguous United States, marked by a northernmost point buoy, and is where the lake's 14,552 islands begin. The Angle offers world-class fishing for walleyes, pike, muskies, crappies and smallmouth bass.
