True adventures await in our great
north woods – some historic,
others natural, but all memorable. Minnesota’s first state park is here –
Itasca State Park
– where the infant Mississippi River trickles over time-worn pebbles. So is the
nation’s oldest national forest – Chippewa National Forest– where eagles still soar high
and free. Lake Bemidji State Park
features a bog walk.
The northwoods are home to porcupine, deer, chipmunks and mink. A colorful variety of
squirrels, rabbit, and gophers are plentiful. Timber wolf, black bear and even the
occasional moose can also be seen. In total, over 50 species of mammals and 200 types of
birds are found within area forests.

Once a bustling logging town, the historic
Buena Vista area is now a beautiful
recreation center. Referred to as the "top of the world," Buena Vista is replete
with rolling hills and lake vistas of the Continental
Divide. The perfect site to enjoy
downhill and cross-country skiing, along with snowboarding. Also available are sleigh
rides, covered wagon rides, mountain biking and snowmobiling. The village features the
Logger’s Museum on the early days of logging
