| | Forests and fields, lakes and streams cover this region of Minnesota. Tour the farms of the south, green with corn and soybeans, then head north to the deep woods. You’ll find the headwaters of the Mississippi here, at Lake Itasca, as well as many of the state’s 10,000 lakes. Lake of the Woods (known as the "walleye capital of the world") offers spectacular fishing, 65,000 miles of shoreline, and thousands of islands to explore. Look for deer, beaver, and eagles along the shore, and be sure to watch for the Northern Lights after the sun goes down. |
