Kayaking, Jet Skiing, Swimming, and Tubing
The state of Minnesota may be best known as being the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” In reality, the state has almost 12,000 lakes.

Not only is getting out on the water a great way to enjoy nature and the lovely scenery, but it can also be a fun form of exercise. There are many rivers and lakes throughout Minnesota that she is excited to enjoy.
Hiking and Walking Trails
Another popular activity that someone in Minnesota can enjoy is hiking and going on walks.

With Minnesota’s sheer number of lakes, forests, and open space, the state is home to a wide variety of animals and plants. Hartwig enjoys hiking and enjoying the trees, such as when they show their colors towards the middle of fall each year.
