Discover the Great Outdoors

With more than 10,000 lakes, immense forests and rugged bluffs, Minnesota is an exciting outpost for outdoor lovers of all kinds. Go canoeing or kayaking on the country's largest Great Lake, hike winding trails out to breathtaking overlooks, bike on scenic pathways, or zoom across 900 miles of ATV trails.

Things don't slow down within the wintry months, either. If anything, they ramp right up, whether you're into snowmobiling, skiing, dogsledding or fat biking.
