Spring in Minnesota

As much as Minnesotans love to embrace winter, we simply can't wait for the first signs of spring. Whether it's flourishing wild flowers, the border-to-border beginning of fishing season, or the sudden blast of sun-baked waterfalls, spring is a gentle reminder of what we've all been waiting for and the many warm months ahead. Not to mention what comes after that: the leaf-peeping looks of fall. 

Here are some ways to make the most of Minnesota this spring.
