Minnesota Vacation in Lake Country

Right in the heart of Minnesota you will find Lake Country, the perfect example to illustrate the state motto "Land of 10,000 Lakes." Indeed, there are lakes everywhere you look. Depressions carved out hundreds of thousands of years ago created the lakes we enjoy so much today. Filled with the sparkling "sky blues waters" of fame, the lakes are a delight to visitors who take a Minnesota vacation in Lake Country during any season of the year.

Summers are filled with swimming, fishing and hiking on the thousands of acres of public lands set aside for all to enjoy.
