I'm an US Citizen, but Lake of the Woods is a special place to me. I've been going to the Angle for many years, and hope that someday, I'm able to go to the Canadian parts of the lake.

I have been going to Fort St. Charles since the 60's, It is a retreat for Priests. We update the cabins, put and remove the dock and mow the grass.... you did a nice job showing the Fort. Thank you

Thank you for making and providing this video. LOW is certainly a rich and important body of water. I have a new appreciation for the lake I previously thought was uninteresting.

Haha my cousin hit that reef between the two boat houses!! Also I’m happy that he showed the plaque in Holmstroms marsh. Carl Malmo was my great grandfather and Eric Holmstrom was his father in law. My great great grandfather. It’s so cool to have so much family history on the lake. There’s really no place like it. We have our family island just at the end of welcome channel. Fox island. Carl Malmo was a commercial fisherman on the lake and purchased 5 acres of fox island in the late 30’s or early 40’s for $5,000!! My family remains on the island to this day and many many more to come!!

Drive past there daily in the summer on the way past Scotty to our camp - lots of improvements at Stephens over the decades - we had several interactions with campers who canoed to balancing Rock Island, a common destination back in the 60's - 90's but now privately owned - cheers Charles

Really enjoyed your knowledge of the lake, love all the video from the air. So you know, Pictographs are painted on the rocks and Petroglyphs are carved into the rock.

It's an amazing waterway, but very intimidating with the obstacles and its magnitude. Wouldn't want my motor to break down, let alone getting lost. Could be a dangerous situation. I wonder how many people actually got lost and thus had a very frightening experience.

That lake has more coast line then the Mexican wall. MN has more shoreline then the entire east coast.

I own property in Oregon. Well still paying it off. Few years left for that. But that fort replica, I wanted to do a fence around my property using trees just like how that fort was. Trees all around me so it would only take manpower to do it.

Great video! One thing I should point out though. You refer to the ancient rock art as petroglyph's. They are in fact pictograph's There is a big difference!

Wow this was a great video. You should get back into making these videos. Ever since the covid hit allot of channels like this has been getting allot of subscribers and people actually make allot of money threw KZfaq. Give it a try. Be consistent on the uploads for a few months. You will see what I'm talking about is true. Thanks for making such great content like this video.
