Start a family tradition with photos at the areas historical monuments.
In the heart of Nevis you will find the World’s Largest Tiger Muskie, you can’t miss it! There you can enjoy a nice pic-nic under the park shelter while the kids get out their energy on the jungle gym nearby.
In neighboring Akeley, stop and take a family photo in the palm of Paul Bunyan. Next Christmas card perhaps!?Paul is near the Heartland Trail access with convenient parking. So combine your visit with Paul with a nice bike ride on the Heartland Trail.
Can you ever have too many Paul Bunyan statues? We think not. You’ll find this Paul and Babe on the shores of Lake Bemidji. This is a great day trip from Nevis, about 50 minutes north. It’s a stunning drive, especially in the fall as the leaves are turning. There is a wonderful playground and visitor center, with free parking, near this must visit icon. Then head out of for a stroll in downtown Bemidji!
