Northwest Angle Guest Ice Road on Lake of the Woods closes for the season
A total of 966 passes were sold to use the road, according to the Facebook post. Partners put in 675 hours of plowing and spent $130,000 in building and maintaining the road, in addition to hundreds of volunteer hours handling other aspects of the project. Written By: Brad Dokken | ×
