Southern Region

Winter in southern Minnesota is beautiful. There is something for everyone. Whether you enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, down-hill skiing, ice fishing, shopping, theatre, museums, winter festivals, or just relaxing by a cozy fireplace in one of the many Bed & Breakfasts, you'll be surprised at what you'll find in southern Minnesota. Don't forget to bring your camera because you never know when you'll spot a Bald Eagle, Whitetail Deer, or a Wild Turkey. Come and visit this winter season, you'll be glad you did.
