Minnesota Lake Life

Ask any Minnesotan, and they'll tell you that the best parts of summer happen on the water. With thousands of lakes to choose from—including the mighty Lake Superior, whose vast, shimmering expanse feels more like an inland sea—there’s always a spot to cast a line, take a swim, or just kick back on the dock. Whether it’s the quiet charm of a hidden forest lake or the dramatic cliffs and pebble beaches of the North Shore, it’s the perfect, low-key paradise.
