Area Attractions for the Whole Family

Remember when you were a kid and you couldn't wait to go water skiing while on vacation up north? These days there are plenty of water sports to test your skills. Besides skiing, there is wake boarding, wake surfing, knee-boarding, tubing, canoeing, the list goes on. Any excuse to experience the thrill of the Lake Life.

Enjoy the fall colors on a hiking trail or take a leisurely drive on one of the three Scenic Byways. Chill out roasting marshmallows by a campfire in the cool crisp air. For Northwoods folks, fall means hunting season! As the leaves peak at the end of September, hunters get their guns ready for hunting opener. Duck, goose, grouse, deer and bear are all popular targets.

When winter rolls around, the Northwoods is all about snow and cold weather activities such as ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, or snowshoeing. So bundle up and hop on a snowmobile, because you are in the center of the 14,000 miles of trails in Minnesota!
