About Grand Rapids

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" may just land you in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, the birthplace of famed entertainer Judy Garland. Placing 49th on Prentice Hall's "100 Best Small Towns in America," Grand Rapids offers quaintness with just the right amount of modern flourishes. Like other areas in Minnesota, some of the main attractions include outdoor activities, and Grand Rapids doesn't disappoint with 1000 miles of snowmobile trails and more than 1000 lakes in the surrounding area. To experience some of the area's rich logging history, take a tour of the 100-year-old Blandin Paper Mill. The mill still operates and even helped spawn the Forest History Center, an authentic reconstruction of a 1900 logging camp. Other attractions include Chippewa National Forest and the Judy Garland Museum. The city's best dining can be found at Ruttger's Sugar Lake Lodge or at The Cedars at Sawmill Inn. From Pokegama Lake to the Mississippi River, Grand Rapids delivers a lot of charm and entertainment.
