Full moon rising over the lakeDetroit Lakes

Located in Becker County in west central Minnesota is an area – and a city – called Detroit Lakes. Within 25 miles are found more than 400 of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. Like so much of Minnesota, Detroit Lakes offers sparkling waters in which to swim, water ski or fish, vast and inviting forests loaded with wildlife for nature lovers and photographers alike. There are trails for hiking and bicycling, meticulously manicured courses for the golfer, museums to browse, restaurants and shopping areas to visit. With all of this and so much more, why not plan a vacation to Detroit Lakes? It’s a great place to explore… again, or for the very first time!
