Bemidji is the regional center of north-central Minnesota, a lake town surrounded by forests, resorts and some of the best fishing in the state. Bemidji State University sits on the shore of Lake Bemidji, and the city is a hub for healthcare, retail and services for a wide area that includes the Red Lake and Leech Lake reservations. Tourism is a big part of the economy, and the region is popular for lake homes and summer cabins.

Bemidji is about three and a half hours from the Twin Cities by car, much of it on two-lane highways through lake country. Bemidji Regional Airport is just west of town, so flying private puts you on the lake in minutes, without spending the better part of a day in the car. Visitors come for the giant statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox on the lakefront, the headwaters of the Mississippi at Itasca State Park, fishing for walleye on Lake Bemidji and nearby lakes, and biking the Paul Bunyan State Trail.
