Minnesota is a land of contrasts. From secluded canoe trails in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, house boating adventures in Voyageurs National Park, to north woods family resorts, the state has more shoreline than California, Florida and Hawaii combined. Minnesota also has internationally acclaimed arts, and unique entertainment acts and venues.
Minnesota also has 20 Scenic Byways. Among them is the Great River Road along the the Mississippi from Itasca State Park through the Twin Cities to the majestic Bluff Country in the southeast. From Duluth to the Canadian border, the North Shore Scenic Drive traces Lake Superior through harbor towns and state parks. Grand Rounds Scenic Byway introduces the neighborhoods of Minneapolis, the City of Lakes, as it wends from Saint Anthony Falls through the parkway system.
