Mid-May brings the fishing opener – one of the most exciting fishing days of the year for anglers of all ages. You’ll find the area lakes buzzing with anglers hoping to catch a trophy walleye or northern pike.
A short ten minute drive from Lincoln brings you to the Crow Wing River, offering 120 miles of scenic tranquility. Spend the day fishing or enjoy a relaxing afternoon canoeing, kayaking, or tubing down the river.
In spring gorgeous flowers come into bloom and many beautiful migratory birds return to their summer home. Birding guides are available for individual or group tours.
