Explore the Great Outdoors
As a local, I can confidently say that one of the main draws of Bemidji is its stunning natural surroundings. We are known as the "Lake Country" for a reason – the city is surrounded by over 400 lakes, making it a paradise for water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Take a scenic hike through the lush forests, fish in one of our many lakes, or simply sit and take in the serene beauty of your surroundings. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, you will not be disappointed.
Experience the Chippewa Indian Culture
One of the most unique aspects of Bemidji is its rich Native American history and culture. The city is home to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and visitors can learn about their heritage at the nearby Leech Lake Indian Reservation. The city is also home to many Native American art galleries, featuring traditional and contemporary works. For a truly immersive experience, attend one of the various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year.
Take a Step Back in Time
Bemidji is also home to some fascinating historical sites that offer a glimpse into the past. Visit the Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues, which are iconic symbols of the city. Stop by the Beltrami County History Center to learn about the early settlers and their way of life. If you're feeling adventurous, take a guided walking tour of the city's historic downtown area, which is lined with charming shops and restaurants.
Indulge in Local Cuisine
No visit to Bemidji is complete without trying some of the delicious local cuisine. From classic Midwestern dishes to fresh seafood caught from the nearby lakes, there is no shortage of options to satisfy your taste buds. Don't forget to try our famous wild rice dishes, as the city is known as the "Wild Rice Capital of the World". And for those with a sweet tooth, the city is also home to a variety of homemade chocolates, fudge, and other treats.

Last but certainly not least, the community spirit in Bemidji is truly special. Both visitors and locals can take part in a variety of events and activities throughout the year, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Paul Bunyan Triathlon, and the Bemidji Winterfest.
