2017 Polar Plunge

You’ve never jumped into frigid Lake of the Woods waters in the middle of the winter. On March 18 we can help change that!

“Each year, the Polar Plunge challenges thousands of brave jumpers at numerous locations around the state. It’s a great way for everyone—individuals, organizations and businesses—to get involved in supporting Special Olympics in Minnesota. All funds raised go towards programming and events for more than 8,000 athletes statewide.”

Last year 50 Plungers raised more than $14,000 at the 2016 Warroad Plunge! Let’s see if we can beat that in 2017!

Ice Report

Report courtesy of Sportsman’s Lodge

“It looks like we should start to make some decent ice starting next week!  Bring it on!  A good week of cold temperatures and light wind is what we need! A lot can happen in a week.  Get your fishing buddies together and make your plans, ice fishing season is coming soon!

Ice fishing season runs longer on Lake of the Woods than most lakes in Minnesota.  It starts in December and we have to pull our houses off by March 31. “
