Though many think of Minnesota lake resorts as being a summer escape, winter offers just as much fun! Minnesota winters are known for sparkling white landscapes, phenomenal ice fishing, and a plethora of exciting winter activities like snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Summertime is for hitting the water and soaking in the sun or strolling through shady woods to find lookouts that open up to gorgeous lake views. Every season has so many things to do in Bemidji!
