Hello Summer!

A picture is worth a thousand words and the one above tells a story. There is nothing better than summer time up north. Although there are so many things to do and see, the lakes is one of the greatest highlights of the Greater Grand Rapids area. With over 1,400 lakes in Itasca County, there are plenty to put a boat on and spend a day with the family on the lake. Do you think the phones are out collecting a memory or trying to catch this dad making a turn to throw his son off the tube?

Family fun happens here. Rest, relax, and have fun in Minnesota's Nature.
