reaches Hudson Bay, the south side of 
the divide is steep, and a great many 
rivers dash madly into Lake Superior. 
No place for a canoe here, though the 
streams hold an appeal to the angler, 
for they are well stocked with trout. 
The characteristics of the whole 
north country —rock, pine trees and 
clear, cold water—show that it marks 
the “farthest south” of the glaciers; 
the place where, finally baffled by warm 
winds, they slowly melted away. 
In fact, this region is one of the 
reasons why Minnesota can truthfully 
boast of her ten thousand lakes. 
But it does not comprise the entire 
lake district. The whole state is inter- 
spersed with lakes. These are widely 
scattered, but there are several distinct 
regions made notable by groupings of 
the lakes. Each of these districts, like 
the Superior Forest, has its own indi- 
viduality; hence the charm of the lake 
region as a whole. 
N the north central region of the 
state are a large number of lakes 
grouped around several very large ones, 
ranging from ten to forty miles in 
length. This is the.headwater region 
of the Mississippi River. The forests 
’ are mixed conifers and hardwood trees; 
the land is rolling. Most of the lakes 
are connected by little streams and 
rivers. 
To the west of this is the famous lake 
park region. Here, near the edge of 
the prairie country that extends across 
Dakota, are hundreds on hundreds of 
lakes—one county claims 250—laying 
in shallow basins, surrounded by oak 
and maple trees; almost tropical in 
aspect, as compared to the stern north 
country a hundred miles away. These 
lakes drain into the basin of the Red 
River, whence their waters reach Hud- 
son Bay. 
The third individual lake region is 
found, curiously enough, near the cities 
of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and 
north of there. The significance of this 
region, and its great effect on the health 
of the people and on their outdoor rec- 
reation, is indicated by the fact that 
the city of Minneapolis boasts of nine 
major lakes and a number of smaller 
ones. Adjacent to the city is Minne- 
tonka Lake, one of the largest and most 
attractive in the state. 
ITH such a wealth of clean waters, 
it is little wonder that the people 
in Minnnesota are as much at home 
in canoes and boats as in automobiles. 
When Minnesota’s King Tut shall be 
uncovered in future ages, he will be 
found to sport webbed feet, without 
doubt.
