Lake of the Woods is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, located within the Rainy River District. The township is located on the eponymous Lake of the Woods, consisting of mainland in the south-east part of the lake, the southern shores of Aulneau Peninsula, along with several islands in the lake, including Big Island and Bigsby Island. It fully surrounds the indian reserves of Big Grassy River 35G, Big Island Mainland 93, and Saug-a-Gaw-Sing 1.
The township was formed on January 1, 1998, when the former incorporated townships of Morson and McCrosson/Tovell were amalgamated. The following year portions of Unorganized Kenora District were annexed.[2]
The primary communities within the township are Bergland, Minahico and Morson.
