It doesn’t get much better than being at the lake, feeling the warm breeze, and soaking up the vibrant sun on a beautiful Summer day in the Lincoln Lakes Area.

Relax at a resort or campground on one of our picturesque lakes where you can canoe, kayak, or pontoon on the quiet waters. Enjoy a peaceful walk or bike ride among majestic pines. Unwind on the beach or just rest in a shaded hammock breathing the clean, fresh air.

Play 9 or 18 holes of golf on a local championship golf course or one of several courses in a 30 mile radius of Lincoln.

A more active day may be had by cruising on the jet-ski, speeding through the water while wake boarding, skiing, tubing, or feeling the challenge while out sailing.

Fishing boats, pontoons, jet-skis, kayaks, tubes, and canoes are all available for rent.

Other activities include horseback riding (trailer your horse or rent one from a ranch located in the Pillsbury State Forest), a high ropes adventure course, and a climbing wall which is available at our local youth camp. Enthusiasts of all ages enjoy local ATV trails.

Spend your day leisurely touring the Pine Grove Zoo, Charles Lindbergh Center, Minnesota Fishing Museum, Minnesota Military Museum or look for those hard to find antiques and one of a kind homemade crafts at local flea markets, antique stores, and gift shops. After you “shop ‘til you drop”, delight in an evening of fine dining, casual dining, or a family sing along around an evening campfire.

August begins with Scandia Valley Summerfest, a weekend festival located at the Scandia Valley Town Hall, where you can enjoy craft booths, a turkey dinner, street dance, fireworks, Sunday morning pancake breakfast, raffles, and much more.
