About Minnesota
Minnesota is nicknamed "The Land of 10,000 Lakes," though it actually has even more than that, and Minneapolis, its largest city, sits right alongside its twin city Saint Paul on either side of the Mississippi River near where the river begins. Winters there are famously cold, and ice fishing is a popular local tradition.
