The wide-open spaces spread out beneath the big sky of western Minnesota create one of the most beautiful landscapes in the state. Fall brings clouds of migrating waterfowl and every pothole becomes a carpet of bird life. The sparse population means that many miles often separate neighbors, but they are linked by a strong sense of community and the familial ties that go back for several generations. Recreational opportunities abound for the sportsman and the nature enthusiast amid the large blocks of wild lands. This diverse and expansive landscape calls to mind a time that is lost for much of Minnesota but is still able to be preserved in the Agassiz Beach Ridges region.
