24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Angle Inlet, MN

Angle Inlet is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Angle Township, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota — the northernmost census-designated place in the contiguous United States.

Angle Inlet is part of the Northwest Angle, the only place in the contiguous United States that lies north of the 49th parallel — a quirk created by an 18th-century mapping error in the Treaty of Paris boundary description and settled by the Anglo-American Convention of 1818.

Angle Inlet holds the Northernmost Point of the Contiguous U.S., marked by a buoy-style monument reading 'Northernmost Point: Contiguous U.S.A.'

Angle Inlet's post office proudly signs itself the 'Most Northerly P.O. in Contiguous U.S.'

Angle Inlet is home to the Angle Inlet School, the last active one-room schoolhouse in Minnesota.

There is no year-round road from Angle Inlet to the rest of the United States — drivers must travel through Manitoba, Canada, though in winter an ice road across frozen Lake of the Woods reconnects the community to Minnesota when conditions allow.

Angle Inlet's economy is built on tourism and outdoor recreation — fishing for walleye, crappie, lake trout and northern pike on Lake of the Woods, plus ice fishing, snowmobiling and boating — and the community has a small airstrip served by Lake Country Air.
