Warroad is a lovely little town in Northern Minnesota, bordering Canada. It sits right on the southwestern shore of Lake of the Woods, which is mostly in Minnesota, with bits and pieces in Canada. An interesting little geography tidbit - the Northwest Angle, an island on Lake of the Woods is part of Minnesota but is completely bordered by Canadian land. To get onto the island, home to about 60 people during the summer without driving all the way up into Canada and back around, you have to take a boat across the lake. During the winter, when the lake is frozen, one can actually drive across it. It’s the only ice based toll road in the US. The Northwest Angle is also the northernmost point in the Contiguous United States. The more you know!
Warroad has a small international airport, with double daily service to Minneapolis on Delta Connection.
