The Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area is a couple miles to the north while the Tobico Marsh is a few miles to the south. Both are popular places for bird observation and the Wildlife Area is popular with seasonal waterfowl hunters.

The name Linwood comes from the words "line" and "wood", as it was on the line between two different townships and it was also heavily wooded. Former names included Terry's and Terry's Station.
