In spring and summer, travelers enjoy the water by fishing, sailing and canoeing or the land by golfing on the best natural golf course landscape in the country. With 46 state parks and 12 state and national forests, the fall offers spectacular scenic touring while the winter lends itself to cross-country and downhill skiing, dog sled races and snowmobiling.
