Sunset Lodge
Sunset Lodge is a remote, full-service fishing and outdoor resort located on Oak Island in the Northwest Angle of Lake of the Woods. Surrounded by the vast waters, islands and wilderness of far northern Minnesota, the resort offers the kind of secluded Northwoods experience that makes reaching the Northwest Angle part of the adventure itself.
Open year-round, Sunset Lodge is especially known as a fishing destination. During summer, guests can explore Lake of the Woods with boat rentals and experienced fishing guides, pursuing the area's renowned walleye and other gamefish. Winter transforms the surrounding lake into an ice-fishing destination, with heated fish houses and Bombardier transportation available to take guests onto the ice.
The property offers cabins and condos, along with a main lodge featuring a full-service bar and restaurant. Guests also have access to private protected docks, complimentary boat slips, bait and tackle, fuel and other supplies—important conveniences given the resort's island location.
Part of Sunset Lodge's appeal is simply getting there. Travelers driving to the Northwest Angle generally travel through Canada before reaching Young's Bay near Angle Inlet. From there, Sunset Lodge is approximately a 10–15 minute boat ride in summer, with winter access available across the ice. Guests can also arrive by boat from the south shore of Lake of the Woods, and the resort operates as a private seaplane base.
More than simply a place to stay, Sunset Lodge offers an authentic Northwest Angle experience—remote islands, big water, world-class fishing and the welcoming atmosphere of a Minnesota fishing lodge. For anglers, families and outdoor travelers looking to get well beyond the usual resort destinations, its Oak Island setting provides a memorable base for experiencing one of the most unique corners of Minnesota.
