The Canadian border has been closed for a while but that makes things very difficult for people trying to get to or from Minnesota's Northwest Angle. The only way there is by crossing the Canadian border. Since that's not possible, how are people supposed to get to and from the Northwest Angle? That's when residents decided to create an ice road over Lake of the Woods called the NW Angle Guest Ice Road. It's 22 miles on ice and 8 miles through forest to get to the Northwest Angle.
There are quite a few resorts in the Northwest Angle and because the border has been closed they haven't been able to host any visitors, it has really hurt business. Paul and Karen Colson are owners of "Jake’s Northwest Angle, the third-generation resort started by Paul’s grandfather" according to KARE 11. Paul said they had zero people at their resort.
