ST. PAUL, Minn., June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- To mark the first day of summer, Explore Minnesota, the state's tourism promotion office, is highlighting things to do across the state this season. Minnesota is known for its outdoor activities, picturesque parks and trails, summer festivals and, of course, its many lakes. Soak up summer with these unique activities found #OnlyinMN.
Enjoy Lake Life With more shoreline than California, Florida and Hawaii combined, Minnesota specializes in lake life. It's not called the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" (11,842, to be exact) for nothing. In the summer, enjoy boating, paddling, dockside dining, watersports and more. No boat? No problem. There are several watercraft rental options across the state.
Reel in a Big One Thanks to an abundance of lakes, rivers, streams, and many species of fish, Minnesota provides some of the country's best freshwater fishing. It's a favorite pastime and easy to include as part of any Minnesota vacation. Download the state's official fishing guide here.
Dine and Drink Outside Summer is patio season in Minnesota. Whether on a rooftop downtown or a lakeside dock, dining alfresco is a must in summer. The state's craft beverage scene also has plenty of outdoor places to raise a glass, many of which are dog-friendly.
Go Golfing Minnesota is consistently ranked among the states with the most golfers per capita, and summer is a great time to hit the links. With unique landscapes and some of the finest course conditions in the country, it's a great place to play 500+ courses.
Hit the Road Minnesota's 21 scenic byways meander through many landscapes: lake-splashed north woods, tumbling waterfalls, grand bluffs towering above winding rivers, ribbons of prairie and city parks. Several of these drives are also designated as National Scenic Byways. They lead to charming towns, historic sites, parks, bike trails and more.
Camp Under the Night Skies In the warm summer months, camping under the night sky is a great way to stargaze, and Minnesota is one of the best places in the lower 48 to view the northern lights. Check out the best places to try to catch them here.
