Activities

Unique, tourist- friendly communities within an hours drive from the Lake Winnie area, offer a variety of activities and attractions.  Bemidji, Cass Lake, Deer River, and Grand Rapids showcase musical productions, historical sites, museums, movie theatres, restaurants, art galleries, gift shops, antique dealers, mini golf courses, bowling alleys, riding stables and more.  These towns also host seasonal festivals and craft fairs, and sporting events from biathlons and triathlons to canoe races and ski jumping.  Multiple championship golf courses and casinos are just a short drive from the Lake Winnie area. 

If you prefer a quieter pace, try exploring the Chippewa National Forest - the first national forest established east of the Mississippi River.  It encompasses nearly 1.6 million acres with almost 1,300 lakes - including all 70,000 acres of Lake Winnibigoshish and Cutfoot Sioux.  The Chippewa National Forest boasts 100+ miles of forest trails allowing abundant opportunity for berry picking, wildlife viewing, mountain biking, fall color observing, hunting and cross country skiing.
