Bemidji, the First City on the Mississippi, is a charming northwoods family vacation area. History, legend and lore mingled with an abundance of bald eagles and waterways give the Bemidji area its unique character. The headwaters of the Mississippi River and 400 fishing lakes in a 25-mile radius, invite anglers and provide a variety of recreational opportunities all year around. The natural rhythm of changing seasons draw bikers, hikers, skiers and snowmobiling enthusiasts to the area's State and National Parks and Forests. 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and 140 kilometers of cross country ski trails wind through the scenic forests.
Statues of the legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan and Babe his Blue Ox, standing at the Lake Bemidji waterfront, are one of the nations most photographed icons. Native American and Scandinavian cultures are woven together into the tapestry of Bemidji's history. Several events and galleries showcase the community's rich and diverse cultural heritage. A remarkable collection of sculpture and outdoor art throughout the downtown area offers a glimpse into the creativity this beautiful area inspires. For over 50 years, the Paul Bunyan Playhouse has hosted top professional theater performances throughout the summer.
Even though Bemidji is a regional retail, healthcare and educational center, with the amenities of a large city, it still maintains a small-town atmosphere.
Whether you are seeking a traditional vacation, a weekend getaway or want to enjoy your favorite sport, Bemidji is an ideal spot to relax and refresh
