As we reach the height of summer in Minnesota, We Are Water MN travels north to a deeply significant site for water in our state: the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River! The water found at Lake Itasca begins here and flows on its winding way 2552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
Nature journaling is a meditative practice that sharpens observation of the natural world through drawing and writing. On the shores of Lake Itasca, we’ll explore life on land and in the lake - and the connections between them.
Come explore water and life along the Mississippi River at a variety of information and activity stations. Learn about water, wildlife, plants and people that make the river home.
