Welcome to Minnesota
The state of Minnesota is nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes. Bordered to the north by Canada and the southern tip of Lake Superior, Minnesota combines prairie, deciduous forest, and rugged coniferous forest wilderness landscapes. The Twin Cities, Minneapolis and state capital Saint Paul, are filled with historic landmarks from the time when the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers provided the region with water power and transport. As well as great urban shopping and dining opportunities, Minnesota is famous for outdoor adventures like canoe trips in the Boundary Waters wilderness, bike rides along the Mississippi, and scenic drives from the port city of Duluth along the Lake Superior shoreline.
