Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Minnesota

While in Minnesota, you might enjoy a visit to:

Isle, Minnesota: Mean Muskie and Walleye

Two big, nasty, toothy fiberglass fish, mounted on poles, with a platform for photo ops. The walleye appeared in 2006; it was such a success that the muskie soon followed. Well done.
~41 miles from Baxter.

Cold Spring, Minnesota: Grasshopper Assumption Chapel

Erected to remember a Minnesota grasshopper plague. The governor declared a statewide Day of Prayer, then a freak sleet storm killed all the grasshoppers!
~62 miles from Baxter.

Akeley, Minnesota: World's Largest Paul Bunyan

Many towns in the Great Lakes region have Paul Bunyan statues. But only Akeley's Bunyan has dropped to one knee to let visitors perch in his mighty palm.
~50 miles from Baxter.

Nevis, Minnesota: World's Largest Tiger Muskie

A big fiberglass catch, displayed under a snow-and-rain-shielding canopy, and positioned for classic "My head's in the mouth of a giant fish!" gag photos.
~51 miles from Baxter.
