The state also offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing (walleye is a favorite!), hunting, and various water sports on its many lakes.
  • What special gear or clothing is recommended for the climate in Minnesota?

    Minnesota experiences extreme temperature swings. Pack layers! In winter, you'll need a warm coat (down or synthetic), hat, gloves, and scarf. Waterproof boots are essential.

  • What are the best local foods in Minnesota?

    Minnesota's culinary scene is diverse but features some regional specialties. Try a Juicy Lucy (a burger with cheese inside the patty), walleye (a freshwater fish), wild rice, and pasties (savory hand pies). Many local breweries and distilleries offer unique tastes of the region. Don't forget the classic Minnesota hotdish, a casserole-type dish.
