WALKER & LEECH LAKE AREA
|
About Walker
Tucked alongside Leech Lake in north central
Minnesota, Walker is the ideal combination of
pioneer spirit and lakeside serenity. The city
was founded in 1896 in Cass County thanks to its
proximity to a railroad stop. According to
Ojibwa legend, a captured maiden - with the aid
of Indian deity Hiawatha - struck a magical
spear into dry rock and created what is now
Leech Lake. One of Minnesota's largest, the lake
has made Walker a popular tourist destination,
and its location in the heart of the Chippewa
National Forest means visitors enjoy plenty of
fishing, hiking, biking, snowmobiling and
skiing. In the summer, miles of unspoiled
beaches are available for sunbathing and
swimming, and nearby aspen forests are ideal for
hiking and for fall and winter hunting. Visitors
and residents also enjoy the friendly,
small-town vibe of the downtown area, which
features quaint craft shops and relaxed eateries
as well as more sophisticated restaurants and
boutiques. The Walker area offers four seasons
of relaxation and adventure for all ages.
Did you know?
The International Eelpout Festival, named for an
unattractive, difficult-to-catch fish, has been
drawing crowds at Leech Lake since 1979. The
February competitions and ice antics include ice
drilling, sled dog rides, a polar plunge and an
on-ice auto race.
