Known as 'The Land of 10,000 Lakes' and 'The North Star State', Minnesota is one of the USA's top destinations for active travellers. The state sits at the crossroads of three major ecosystems: prairie, eastern woodland and north woods, offering a huge variety of natural landscapes and a hiking and biking adventure playground stretching for miles. Like to find adventure on the water? Minnesota isn't called the Land of 10,000 Lakes for nothing. As well as being home to big names like Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, the state is covered in winding waterways that are perfect for everything from a lazy paddle and mooch around quaint harbour towns, to thrilling rapid-conquering rides.
And for when you need to take a breather, the vibrant cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are waiting for you. Experience the local culture, visit fascinating museums, stroll along the riverside or bike around the city streets for a unique perspective.
