Lake Bemidji is a cornucopia of rejuvenating sights, soothing sounds, and invigorating scents, making it one of Minnesota’s truest natural gems. An excellent destination any time of year, the lake provides the ideal location for ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing during the winter months. Spring announces itself with vibrant blooms, especially at the area’s tamarack bog where orchids, dragon’s mouth, and lady’s slippers greet the cheerful hikers. Summer is the season that knows no bounds, this time of year the lake will be packed with people boating, tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, fishing, and swimming. On the north end of the lake is Lake Bemidji State Park, the perfect location for biking, hiking, and camping.
