Ontario's second-largest inland lake boasts nearly 15,000 islands, 105,000 km of zigzagging shoreline and more peace and quiet than many people experience in a lifetime. Lake of The Woods holds attraction for visitors of all sorts in all seasons. For the fishing and hunting crowd, there are lots of island lodges and outposts camps - not to mention moose and muskie. For hikers and naturalists, there are cliffs and rocky hills, flocks of white pelicans and lone bald eagles. For water lovers, there are houseboats to charter and sailing regattas to win. And for everyone, there's fresh air, clear blue sky and the promise of a spectacular display of northern lights.
