Lake of the Woods (Ontario)

Straddling the Minnesota-Ontario border, Lake of the Woods has 14,552 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline — more than Lake Superior. It's the walleye capital of the world, producing fish over 10 pounds routinely, alongside monster muskies, smallmouth bass, and lake sturgeon that can exceed 100 pounds. Ice fishing season draws just as many anglers as summer.
