Lakes & Rivers
It's known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” but Minnesota has many more than that (11,842, actually) – not to mention the headwaters of the Mississippi River, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and superlative Lake Superior. The vast number of lakes, rivers and streams create an endless array of water experiences, from kayaking along the North Shore to fly fishing gentle streams to relaxing on a houseboat.
