Minnesota is an outdoor person's dream.

More than 15,000 lakes offer superb swimming, boating and fishing. Canoeists flock to the Boundary Waters canoe area, a vast wilderness on the Canadian border.
Hundreds of miles of trails attract skiers and snowmobilers in the winter, hikers and mountain bikers in the summer.
The Mississippi River is a great place to boat and fish or watch migrating warblers, swans and eagles.
Enthusiasm is usually high for Minnesota's sports teams — the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves and the Wild professional teams, plus University of Minnesota Gopher sports teams.
