When you cross from International Falls into Canada, you will be in Fort
Frances. You then proceed west on Highway 11 for approximately 25 miles.
You will then come to a "T" junction . Rather than continuing west you will
turn right (north) on Hwy. 71 and continue for approximately 149 miles. We
tell our guests that are coming from the south to watch for the little town
of Sioux Narrows. Once you pass through it, you have to go 25 more miles to
our corner. There are signs on the highway, informing you that the Highwind
Road is coming up. This is well marked by blue government signs. Turn right
onto the Highwind lake road and drive east for about 7 ½ miles (12 KM) and
watch for our camp sign, which is a white sign with a red heart in the
middle of it. Turn left at this sign and drive another 1 ½ miles (2.4 KM)
and you will come to another heart sign at our driveway, with Marks family
and Highwind Lake Camp on it. Turn right at our driveway and drive into
camp and proceed to our house with the office sign on it.
