We have been on the phone with MNDOT this morning in regards to highway 11 traffic. We want to stress that Hwy 11 is NOT closed to local traffic. You can use it to get to us.

Looking for a great place for your whole gang to stay on Lake of the Woods? Our VRBO just opened up some dates in June. Cozy enough for two, big enough for 12! Check it out, we’d love to host you! PM me if you have any questions 🙂. And share with anyone you think might want some time ‘up north!’

Situated on a lake, this vacation home is 0.1 mi (0.1 km) from Lake of the Woods and 2.6 mi (4.2 km) from Warroad Estates Golf Course. William S Marvin Training and Visitor Center and The Shed are also within 6 mi (10 km).

We’re here to preserve your trophy! Replica or skin mounts. This one is a replica. If that’s what you want, take good pics and we’ll paint it up to match!

Recently completed this Replica of the State Record Burbot caught on Lake of the Woods. Was honored to receive a couple awards for this one at the MN Taxidermy show last weekend! The Polytranspar Award is given to the best painted entry using polytranspar paints and the McKenzie Award is for Taxidermist’s choice in the fish division. This was a fun one to do!

This Cooler Mount represents a decent day of fishing on Lake of the Woods! A few nice walleye and a jumbo perch. For real, this is a mount! Was fun to bring this to the MN Taxidermy Guild Convention, we were humbled to receive the CHOICE AWARD sponsored by the Minnesota Taxidermy School. This was a fun one to put together. :)
