Lake of the Woods Township

Lake of the Woods defines the setting of Lake of the Woods Township — its island-dotted waters, sheltered bays and conifer-lined shores shape a sparsely settled corner of northwestern Ontario. Shared by Ontario, Manitoba and Minnesota, the lake has more than 14,000 islands and forms part of a broad Canadian Shield waterway network. This is Treaty 3 territory: in 1873, the treaty was concluded at the Northwest Angle on Lake of the Woods, marking a pivotal agreement between the Canadian Crown and First Nations. Fishing, boating and seasonal cottage life remain central to the area. Find related webcams in northwestern Ontario and around Lake of the Woods to build a fuller picture of this borderland.
