The pilot and two passengers were taken to Lake of the Woods Hospital in Kenora.
A hospital supervisor said late Wednesday that one patient was released while the other two were being transferred to hospitals in Thunder Bay and Duluth, Minn.
According to information supplied by Transport Canada, the Cessna 180G plane is registered to an American from Cloquet, Minn.
