What’s
in Your Nature?
Love spending time outdoors in the
summer? Want to learn more about what
happens in Minnesota’s nature? While
vacationing in the Grand Rapids area,
you can participate in a number of
naturalist programs designed to
entertain,
 educate, and inspire
appreciation for Minnesota’s
environment. From wild edibles to phenology, the programs feature a broad
range of topics that connect you with
the natural environment around you. The
Forest History Center offers a series of
outdoor educational programs combined
with a day pass to visit the
interpretive museum and turn-of-the-century lumberjack camp with costumed
interpreters. The Chippewa National
Forest also offers a summer series of
free naturalist programs. For dates and
course information, visit the
Grand Rapids calendar of events.
New Eats
Visitors have two more choices for eats
during their Grand Rapids vacation. The
Harbor Grand Restaurant & Sports Bar is
now open on Pokegama Lake.
 They brought
back some old favorites like the
deep-fried cauliflower from the original
Harbor, along with some new ideas like
the monstrous 5-pound “Dirty McNasty”
burger. Also new, is Daylight Donuts, in
downtown Grand Rapids, serving the odd,
but intriguing, combination of donuts
and gourmet hot dogs. You’ll find
contacts for these businesses and our
favorite restaurants on the Visit
Grand Rapids website.
 Fishing Reports
After the long Minnesota winter, the
cool start to the summer isn’t pleasing
most Minnesotans; however, it has been
good for the anglers. The cooler than
normal weather has extended the usual
good spring fishing on most area lakes.
Anglers are reporting a good walleye
bite and slightly delayed spawning of
sought-after pan fish species. If you
need help finding a guide, or just want
an update on the current fishing
conditions, be sure to check out our
Grand Rapids fishing reports page.
Good luck and great fishing.
