If there’s one silver lining to living in an area that’s subject to frigid, frosty winters, it’s the abundance of lakes, streams, and rivers that we get to enjoy when the snow melts. Nicknamed the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”, Minnesota is actually home to 11,842 lakes, which means there’s one lake for approximately every 460 residents. Minnesota’s lakes keep residents and visitors entertained year-round with a whole gamut of recreational activities to enjoy.

Fishing enthusiasts flock to Minnesota’s lakes, hoping to catch their share of Bass, Crappie, or Trout, whether by ice fishing in the winter months or fly fishing in the summer. Additionally, lakes provide other opportunities for outdoor fun, including swimming, boating, skating, and more.
