DINING & SHOPPING
Locally Made
There are a number of
locally-made products in
Sunset Country you may want
to bring home with you. These
include a tasty delicacy like
wild rice, many locally-grown
vegetables available at our
Farmer’s Markets and dress
wear such as moccassins, mitts
and many others. Egli’s Sheep
Farm in Minnitaki is a must stop for locally-produced goods.
These products are not available anywhere else than in Sunset
Country so if you want something truly unique, this is it!
Fresh Walleye
One of the biggest treats for
visitors from outside the region
is the opportunity to taste fresh
walleye caught from one of our
many thousands of lakes. While
the traditional shore lunch is
the penultimate experience,
many of our local restaurants
and lodges also offer freshly
caught walleye as part of their
menus. The firm texture and freshness of the fish you eat up
here is something you won’t believe until you actually taste it.
Mouth-watering doesn’t adequately describe it!

Gift Shops
There are many one-of-a-kind
gift shops scattered across the
many small towns in Sunset
Country. Here, you can search
for that all important souvenir
to take back home with you.
The selection is truly amazing
and if you've never visited
one of these gift shops, then
definitely it’s something you
should experience. In addition to traditional gift shops, there
are many other retail shops that also have products you may be
interested in purchasing. So take some time to shop, you won’t
be disappointed!
Craft Beer
The rise in the demand (and
thirst) by consumers for everything craft beer has not been
over-looked in Sunset Country.
We have two locations currently producing locally-made craft
beer. The Lake of the Woods
Brewing Company in Kenora
has several brands they can
offer their customers. We even
have a lodge – Eagle Lake Island Lodge – that has an on-site
craft brewery where they serve various types of craft beer.
