Soil conditions, frost risk and crop weather for Windy Point.
Windy Point is a locality in Rainy River, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Windy Point is located at 48.6882°N, 93.1879°W. It observes Central Time (UTC−6 / −5). Postal code area: P9A.
Windy Point extends as a rugged finger of land into the expansive, blue-grey depths of Rainy Lake. It lies 17.3 km east-north-east of Fort Frances, ON (from Fort Frances, ON: bearing 61°T), and is situated 36.4 km east-north-east of Devlin. The shoreline here is defined by weathered stone and the persistent reach of coniferous forest, where the air holds a permanent chill that smells of damp moss and deep water. At dusk, the light loses its heat, casting long, bruised shadows across the granite outcrops that define the terrain. While the Big Canoe River flows through the distant interior, the immediate horizon at Windy Point belongs entirely to the lake, which dictates the mood and movement of the day. The local character of Windy Point is shaped by a quiet resilience, rooted in a history of navigating the vast, interconnected waterways of the region. Life here follows the seasonal transitions of the ice and the open water, a cycle that has persisted for generations. Those who frequent the nearby Sandpoint Island Provincial Park often find themselves drawn to the stillness of the surrounding waters, where the silence is broken only by the call of loons or the slap of waves against the shore. Industry and recreation remain modest, favoring the preservation of the wild, rocky landscape over the intrusion of large-scale development.
