Minnesota is home to many, but what makes it feel like home? A lot of us love the same things, and luckily, Minnesota has plenty of them. Here are some of the things that we collectively can’t live without, and that make us happy to live in the land of 10,000 lakes.
- Hockey
Flickr/ t Mo What is Minnesota without hockey? I don’t want to find out!
- State Parks
The state parks in MN are everyone’s favorite weekend destination and there are so many beautiful options!
- Cabins
Flickr/Highmark Builders It’s just not Minnesota life without cabins on the lake.
- Ice Cream
Flickr/Jereme Rauckman An MN favorite, although I think no state can live without ice cream!
- Our Favorite Radio Station
Flickr/Rob Marquardt Whatever that may be, but 89.3 is massively popular in MN, and even spreads to other states!
- Local Brews
Facebook/Summit Brewing Company Minnesota should be called the land of 10,000 breweries with all this local beer!
- The Duluth Lake Walk
Flickr/m01229 Iconic. Scenic. Unforgettable. If you haven’t been, go right now!
- The State Fair
Flickr/Nicholas Wadler Where else are we going to see everyone we’ve ever met since preschool?
- Boats
Flickr/Ben Stephenson Because lakes… duh.
- Fall
Flickr/Micky Zlimen One of MN’s favorite photography subjects and our time to have pre-freezing adventures.
- Burgers
Flickr/Jerry Huddleston We love our burgers and usually with our beer.
- The Arts
Flickr/Doug Kerr Minneapolis and the entire state for that matter has a massive art community and it’s one of our big draws.
- Small Towns
Flickr/Andy Tinkham Minnesota would be nothing without the small towns that make up most of the state. We even have the coolest small town in America, Grand Marais.
