Minnesota, located in the Midwest region of the U.S., is primarily comprised of gently rolling plains, while the northern part of the state is rugged.
During the Ice Age, the state was covered entirely by glaciers, which left behind a hilly, rocky landscape dotted with thousands of freshwater lakes, rivers and streams.
The state is home to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, located in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest, which is a great spot for paddling, canoeing and fishing.
