Fishing Opener Approaches
- April 2007
Ah, fishing opener. That time of
year when everyone gets at least
a little excited. For some, it’s
the call of open water and the
relaxation of being on the
water; for others, it’s the
opportunity to send everyone
else fishing and enjoy some
quality shopping. No matter
which group you fall into, Grand
Rapids has that unique
combination of more than 1,000
area lakes for fishing and
unique specialty stores for
shopping.
Area fishing guides and bait
stores are ready for the opening
fishing rush and have the
information and supplies you
need for a successful fishing
trip. Our website provides
helpful contact information for
professional guide services
and local bait stores, and a
calendar
of events including
any local fishing tournaments or
fishing-related events. For the
non-fishing people in your
family, this same website
provides a wealth of
shopping
information,
entertainment, and other
non-fishing events so everyone
can enjoy their trip to Grand
Rapids.
 Grand
Slam of Golf Courses Open for
Season
The four Grand Rapids area golf
courses, collectively known as
Minnesota’s Grand Slam of Golf,
are opening this weekend for the
start of the summer golf season.
After a long winter, we are
eager to polish the clubs and
hit the course for some early
season play. There are some
excellent
early
season golf and lodging specials
posted on the
visitgrandrapids.com website.
Take advantage of the lowest
rates of the season and
uncrowded courses before the
summer heat arrives.
What is Resorting?
Resorting is a style of family
vacationing that has been
popular in Minnesota since the
early 1940’s. Traditional
resorting vacations are
week-long, Saturday to Saturday
vacations involving a stay in a
lakeside cabin or cottage. Many
family resorts offer a wide
variety of structured and
self-guided activities to keep
you as busy as you choose to be.
Other resorts specialize in
making your stay a quiet and
peaceful. If your family really
needs to connect with one
another and separate yourselves
from the distractions of daily
life, we suggest you try a
resorting vacation this summer.
You don’t have to fish to enjoy
the serenity of a northern
Minnesota lake. A quiet paddle
in a canoe or kayak after dinner
or sipping your morning coffee
while the fog lifts from the
water can do wonders for purging
the stress of life. Birds, water
critters and other wildlife like
it here, we think you will too.
Grand Rapids offers a wide
variety of resort experiences
and prices; start your journey
