Rosalie's is a family oriented place next door to the AmericInn in Baudette, MN. It seems to be mainly a lunch and dinner place. They do have a small bar area. People are friendly and willing to accomadate special requests to the best of their ability.

Favorite Dish: All the food is good.

Many fishing and hunting camps in Canada and even several on Lake of the Woods can only be reached by boat or floatplane, and some only by floatplane. Two of the best providers of that service are located in Baudette and Warroad. Neither is a regularly scheduled airline, so you may want to call ahead and make arrangements before actually going to Northern Minnesota. In Baudette contact Baudette Flying Service, Inc.

Good day of fishing.

Good day of fishing., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  We came home with our limits, not bad for a long day of fishing. Believe me, these were some of the best fish I've ever ate. mmmmm good. 

Big walleye of the day.

Big walleye of the day., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  This was the big walleye of the day, about a 4 pounder. The are the best eating fish you can catch and the most famous fish in Minnesota lakes. You can tell if you have one when your bobber slides slowly down into the water, then SET THE HOOK! 

Damn slimy eel pout.

Damn slimy eel pout., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  These slimy fish are bottom dwellers who have skin instead of scales and are ugly as hell. They are a good fight, and are usually pretty large, but when you see the golden brown color through the hole you know you got one of the bastards on the line. 

Fishing holes.

Fishing holes., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  These are a couple of holes we used for fishing through. You can see the ice is only 6 to 8 inches thick. 

Scattered shacks across the lake.

Scattered shacks across the lake., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  You can see how the shacks were spread out across the lake in the distance. We were driving small trucks on the ice already you can see the tracks in the snow. The ice was only six inches thick on top of 25 feet of water.

Dad and uncle chris at the ice fishing shack., Baudette

 sketchyhand Says:  These little ice fishing shacks were scattered all over the lake of the woods. Border View Lodge must of had hundreds. You could easily move from one heated shack to another if the fish were not biting.

 sketchyhand Says:  This is the group of guys who slayed the fish with me on a cold week near the border of Canada in northern Minnesota. 

Off The Beaten Path  

Zippel Bay State Park

Zippel Bay State Park, Baudette

 etfromnc Says:  In an article entitled "The Lost Parks," Field & Stream magazine said, "If Minnesota’s Lake of the Woods is well known, this park on its south shore is not." That is truly unfortunate, unless you are one of the few who gets quiet access to it. It has a three mile long beach... 

Northwest Angle

Northwest Angle, Baudette

 etfromnc Says:  The Northwest Angle is almost one of those places that you cannot get to from here. You can get there but you should start in Warroad or Baudette and you have to go by water, air, or Canada. There is no land connection between the remainder of the US and the Northwest Angle....

If you have all the fish that you can eat or just do not want your swing to get rusty while you are away, try the semi-private Oak Harbor Golf Course. When I was last there, it was only a nine-hole course but I understand that the back nine is now under construction.
Mark Mitchell designed this addition and was actually working on it when I was there almost five years ago, so it should be a doozey. Construction is projected to be finished in time for a spring, 2006 opening, although the first nine will remain open during construction.
They try to operate from May 1st to mid-October, seven days per week.
Par 36

Equipment: Bring your own or they have rentals available.
