HISTORY
When Lake Agassiz melted thousands of years ago, Canada was graced with some of the word’s most beautiful fresh water lakes. In 1731, Pierre La Vérendrye left Montreal on an exploration to find the Pacific Ocean. It was on this journey that La Vérendrye came across Lake of the Woods and established Fort St. Charles. Originally referred to as “Lake Minitie” (Lake of the Islands) by the Cree Nation, “Lac du Bois” (Lake of the Woods) was mistranslated by the French Canadians, giving its name today.
