(ABC 6 News) — Minnesota is known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and with that often comes time spent outside.
According to the Minnesota DNR, outdoor recreation is growing across the state, generating $13.5 billion for the state’s economy last year. That is up just over 10% from 2022.
Boating and fishing remain the top activities with RVing, hunting, and snow activities also making major contributions.
