Minnesota's abundance of magnificent woods and waters is legendary. You can stand on a rocky cliff overlooking the largest lake (Superior) in the world, paddle the million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, or step across the crystal-clear source of America's mighty Mississippi. Beyond this, vast portions of northern Minnesota are carpeted by countless lakes, streams, rivers, and forests of evergreen and hardwood. In southeastern Minnesota are the Mississippi's lush hardwood bluffs and cool tributary streams. The state's western horizons are quilted with golden fields and prairies, and ribboned with riverside woodlands.
