International Falls is a small border city of about 5,800 that punches above its size as an outdoor-focused, four‑season base—fishing, boating, snowmobiling, aurora viewing and direct gateway access to Voyageurs National Park make it an interesting, livable spot for multi‑week contracts.
Directly across the Rainy River is Fort Frances, Ontario, offering extra restaurants, shopping and services within minutes, so you can easily balance quiet downtime with day‑trip options while working multiple weeks here.
