Minnesota's Alaska

The great northern shore of Minnesota faces growth challenges:

Cook County is a lot like Alaska. We live in a large, northern boreal forest bordered on the north by the vastness of Canada and the largest Federal wilderness area in the U.S.; on the south by Lake Superior, the world’s largest body of fresh water, an inland ocean. Our lakes, streams and forests abound with wildlife and opportunities for recreational pursuits far removed from the hustle of urban life.
