lakes

Public input plays a vital role in the future of these lakes.

One local resort on Lake Mille Lacs closed its lake access after a large crack appeared in the lake ice over the weekend.

It's located along Minnesota's pristine North Shore but it's anything but scenic...

Some are even venomous!

Just in case you wanna (discreetly) go nuts this summer.

This looks really fun but I think it could also be deceptively difficult.

Wait, it was 22 below zero here a few mornings ago! How can lake ice possibly be unsafe? I don't have the answer key, but I suspect it's all the snow we've had: 80-100" and counting. Snow is an excellent insulator, and a few feet of insulating snow probably kept the lake ice from thickening up properly - or an underwater spring - or a strong current beneath the ice...

Of the over 10,000 lakes in the state of Minnesota most of them with names, there are bound to be some that confuse, offend and make you laugh, these two adjacent lakes might check all of those boxes.

A giant goldfish pulled from a Twin Cities lake is a reminder to owners of fish not to dump them into a lake.

Being an avid Disney fan myself, I think it is so cool that this cartoon tells a Disney-fied story of how the lakes came to be in Minnesota.

When you think of Minnesota, you probably think of these wild things.

The threat of invasive species in the Land of 10,000 Lakes has been around for many years. One county in the state is stepping up efforts to fight the spread of these unwanted aquatic hitchhikers, which raises the question, should others follow suit?
