Not much else to do except outdoor activites.

Fish, hike, swim, enjoy the outdoors.

You can drive to I-Falls (about 35 miles) and there is a movie theater there and lots of shops.

You can also make the trip to Kettle Falls and see the Kettle Falls Hotel (old brothel) and it's a cool trip.

Pull up on an island and bobber fish, explore the island, etc. There also are day-camp sites that have nice swimming beaches (yes, I know it's June and the water will be COLD).

Good Luck!

Scott

Synders is a great resort, thr previous owners, Jerry and his wife have turned it over to Jerrys son, very nice new family operation. They have repainted, reroofed all cabins, and put new mattresses on each bed.

The hot tub and pool are a real bonus. The VNP may have some interesting activites, and there will be bingo, one or two nights of the week.

They do have an outfitter up here that teaches cayaking. In town there is a 5 screen theater, and a bowling alley that has an arcade. Try to enjoy nature because it is at its best up here. guts

Loadster33,
My wife's side of the family has been going to Snyder's (previously Whipple's)Idlewild for many years, usually the second week in June (this year 6/12-19). We have always enjoyed it up there. The one thing nice about the pool location is that even if there is a cool north wind off the lake, the pool is protected, and usually gets the sun, and it stays warm. They have a lodge with a pool table and a fireplace. Even though its not huge, it certainly is a good place for the kids to hang out on a rainy day. Bingo is a fun activity a couple of nights during the week. Also, just driving around you can see a lot of wildlfe, even bears and moose if you are lucky.
We certainly enjoy our time there every year.

If the kids do get bored and you head to the Falls, don't forget there is Ranier about 3 miles east of town which has a couple of knick-knack / tourist shops and I believe Tara's still sells ice cream there. Plus they have a nice beach. You can also head over the bridge into Fort Francis, Ont. There are a few shops and restaurants over there too. I don't know what your kids' traveling experiences are, but when I was younger we always thought it was "cool" to say that we got to go to Canada for the day. Just remember that the bridge is a toll bridge so you have to pay a fee.

If you go south to Orr, you can check out the Vince Shute bear place and watch the black bears. You turn at the Dam supperclub south of Orr. I would check ahead of time because I think they are closed on certain days.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
