lakes

This weekend's chill isn't keeping anglers away from the lakes. Some fish are just waiting to bite, even in the cold. Let’s talk about what’s on the line.

This first weekend of 2026 might just be perfect for fishing. Perch are plentiful, and the catch could be exciting!

Beyond the laws, there are the unspoken rules of boating. These aren’t written into law books, but they are part of lake culture across Minnesota.

Currently, Minnesota has no statewide ban on wake boats. But that hasn’t stopped some cities and lake associations from creating their own rules, including restricting where these boats can operate.

Imagine a summer getaway where the sun kisses your skin, but it’s not the ocean calling: it’s the lakes of the Midwest.

These 3 MN beaches are some of the best in America!

Of all the 10,000+ lakes, this one has just been named the prettiest of them all. Do you agree?

Minnesota is, of course, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but it turns out there aren't nearly 10,000 different names for those lakes. In fact, we now know the most common lake names in the state.

Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes look picture-perfect, but some are dealing with more than a little murkiness these days. Here are the most polluted lakes in the state.

Not one, but two vehicles have already taken an unplanned dive into a Minnesota lake this week, despite repeated warnings about dangerous ice conditions.
