The Northwest Angle is the northern most area in the lower 48 states. The only way to access it is to drive through Canada or cross Lake of the Woods. With the border closed due to COVID-19, resorts on the Angle built a 22-mile ice road, that spans from Warroad, MN to the Angle.

In this weather even if I’m just driving to a store across town I dress like my car may break down and I won’t be discovered for hours.
