- Visit the most northerly point of the contiguous United States, the Northwest Angle of Minnesota. The origin of this vast landscape can be traced back to 1783 at the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Today the region includes resorts, the last one-room schoolhouse in the state, and a lifestyle created around the Lake of the Woods where people enjoy fishing, camping, snowmobiling and exploring this precious land.
About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation - the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment - which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
I came up here from Dallas Texas in summer 2023 to work on oak island resort and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my entire life. I enjoyed dinner at sunset and the gorgeous sunsets every night. I'm itching to come back!
We just drove up there on the NWA Ice Road and it ranked as one the BEST Minnesota experiences ever. Super happy to say "I was there!"
Man I love my home state of Minnesota. So much beauty in these lakes, rivers, and marshes.
I could disagree. It’s to cold here for me . Water isn’t really so clear . Like I want it to be. And so on.
I stayed a week there in 2005. It was in June I believe....it was the best smallmouth fishing on planet earth. We caught well over a 100 a day. Also caught walleye and was treated to shore lunch daily. Our guides name was Mike..... awesome guy🐟🐟🐟
I live down hear in Lake George, near Itasca State Park. I’ve lived in Minnesota about 36 years and the beauty still amazes me !!! When my kids were young I used to say to them as we curved around lakes and tall pines on our drive to town, “look at that, you have no idea how beautiful your view is”. They kind of took it for granted, after all they seen that view everyday on the bus and even just a short walk from our house were 2 lakes side by side. I would explain to them how it was a big deal for me to see a lake when I was growing up in Oklahoma, I wanted them to really see and appreciate the beauty they are fortunate enough to live in !!!!
It’s great, I have vacation land in my own back yard 😍
Yea everything in this video is beautiful, I’ve lived in California my whole life so all im use to seeing is buildings and a few trees here and there but I always had a soft spot for nature.
I just got back from there today (June 29th, 2021). I stayed at Angle Outpost, and it broke my heart that we were the only guests there until July 7th. The Government of the US and Canada have got to work this out, or this unique place will die, and hard working people will suffer greatly.
Also, if Jason and Lisa see this, your kids really did a good job on our trip. filling up the boat gas and checking us out.
great place to visit! greetings from far away Patagonia
I remember Jim’s corner. Grew up on the Rez across the lake and when the borders tightened up things got awkward. Especially going to Kenora.
“How long will you be in the states?”
“Twenty minutes”
Perplexed silence.
It was even funnier in the reverse when we’d only be there staying in the states for five minutes to get across the inlet.
I will be visiting here soon hopefully! Looks beautiful.
Own property on little oak island and this documentary was awesome
So cool the kids camp!!!
Excellent show. Very well done.
I Love this place Thanks Angle Outpost
Very well done!!!!
Wow, I need to visit here!
Great production!
The school bus. What a perfect smuggling cover!!! 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing lol
You are letting the secret out! My Dad’s favorite fishing 🎣 spot in the whole world 🌍! We have been vacationing here for a long time. Not much to see or catch up there 😉!
😂😂😂 true fisherman’s words. “Don’t go there. Ain’t no fish”
You go there every week. 😂😂😂 there are some places in Kentucky little known that I’ve found videos on where I just blasted how bad it was. 😂 I left out the sarcastic wink on my post though.
Great post, Deb - thanks!
Governor Greg Abbott needs too see this
Minnesota's best kept secret NOW on CZcams. Not a secret anymore. :(
My Dream
I'd love to live there but I'm a loser.
Imagine if commercial fishing didn’t happen in the Great Lakes... jacks would be fuckin huge
"It's the only piece of the United States that's north of the 49th parallel." Should really emphasize "contiguous United States" as all of Alaska is north of the 49th parallel.
Nit picky.... They did say exactly that at this time stamp. 8:36
how has it been affected since the pandemic?
They were suffering pretty bad. But when they opened up the NWA Ice Road. I went up there and they were super happy to have visitors! It was a blast.
ah yes, if you like to fish you can't beat wangling.
Just give it back to Canada.
We would be very happy to have it. It is a beautiful place like the rest of the Lake of the Woods that is in Canada.
Why do they fly a Canadian flag?
because they share the boarder with CA
Because up here most Minnesotans want to maintain friendly relations with Canada. Happiness together in harmony.
@@lancea1470 that’s awesome.
Eh, the BWCA is the state's best kept secret IMO.
