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.
Let’s get creative! Come paint next to Lake Itasca and become inspired by the beauty of Itasca State Park and U of M Itasca Biological Station.
Enjoy an afternoon of free, family-friendly activities at Itasca State Park and U of M Itasca Biological Station as part of the We Are Water MN exhibit.
Relax and unwind with Yoga by the Lake, catered to all ages and levels of physical fitness! Enjoy nature while benefiting from yoga as the calming view of Lake Itasca and the towering pines overhead center you.
