Welcome to Oak Island Resort on Beautiful Lake of the Woods

We are a sport and family fishing resort located on scenic Oak Island, which is in the heart of Lake of the Woods in the Northwest Angle area of LOTW. Oak Island is located on the Minnesota / Ontario border giving our guests easy access to both Ontario and Minnesota waters. Guests also enjoy everything the Northwoods and Canadian Shield have to offer, including, rocky wooded landscapes, beautiful sunsets, night skies full of stars, abundant wildlife, and legendary fishing in both Minnesota and Ontario waters.

A little bit about the owner Alver Leighton I bought the resort 4 years ago and am still learning how to kick butt at the resort business, with that said My Wife is Filipino and we applied for the H-2b employee thing and her family was supposed to start in early June, we just found out it might be another 2 months, so I need new help this summer and am willing to hire people that want to work for a short time or all summer. 

There are 14 resorts at the Northwest Angle part of Lake of the Woods and I like to have 3 staff.  With that being said I host a Resort and Local Corn Hole League on Wednesday nights for all staff and locals up at the Northwest Angle so my staff can meet the other summer workers up here all season.  There are 4 bars/resteraunts and when I find the right employee a new Coffee shop.  I look forward to hiring the right person. Thank you, Alver Leighton
