5 days in Bemidji Itinerary

Bemidji is a city in Beltrami County (and county seat), in north west Minnesota, United States. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Preacher's Grove and Peace Pipe Vista. Get outdoors at Lake Bemidji State Park and Detroit Mountain Recreation Area. Explore Bemidji's surroundings by going to Mississippi Headwaters (in Lake Itasca), Rabideau CCC camp (in Blackduck) and Detroit Lake Public Beach (in Detroit Lakes). And it doesn't end there: get to know the fascinating history of Sculpture Walk, don't miss a visit to Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, trek along Shingnobee Recreation Area, and go for a stroll along the water at Deep Portage Conservation Reserve and Learning Center.
