lakes

Of the over 10,000 lakes in the state of Minnesota most of them with names, there are bound to be some that confuse, offend and make you laugh, these two adjacent lakes might check all of those boxes.

A giant goldfish pulled from a Twin Cities lake is a reminder to owners of fish not to dump them into a lake.

Being an avid Disney fan myself, I think it is so cool that this cartoon tells a Disney-fied story of how the lakes came to be in Minnesota.

Videos of crystal clear ice on Boundary Waters lakes are going viral.

When you think of Minnesota, you probably think of these wild things.

New boats are expensive. Used boats aren't cheap either. It's also not the easiest process.

We got ice early this year, but warmer temperatures lately has caused some trucks to go through the lakes. It's still too early.

Tim Hawkins described a time he went tubing on a lake in Minnesota at his friends cabin. He correctly (and hilariously), describes the tubing culture on Minnesota Lakes.

The threat of invasive species in the Land of 10,000 Lakes has been around for many years. One county in the state is stepping up efforts to fight the spread of these unwanted aquatic hitchhikers, which raises the question, should others follow suit?

By now you would hope that many of us would be educated enough to know about the dangers of spreading invasive species with our watercraft.  The DNR has made a huge effort in the past decade to educate the public.  We're used to inspecting our boats and trailers for invasive species, but in some cases some of these species may spread and grow another way:  boat lifts and docks.

The Minnesota DNR is looking for Duluth outdoor enthusiasts to offer their input regarding management plans of area lakes and streams.
