Mille Lacs Lake, July 2000

The Concourse at Garrison, Minnesota.  This beautiful rest area was created in the 1930's with labor by the Civilian Conservation Corps.  It is on the west end of Lake Mille Lacs which is in east-central Minnesota.

The state fish is the Walleye which is known for it's excellent taste.  Walleyes are caught in abundance on Lake Mille Lacs.  

Another view from Garrison. Note the seagull on the left and a fishing boat tied to a dock.  Minnesota is often referred to as the "Land of Sky Blue Water."  
This is Minnesota State Highway 18 on the north side of Lake Mille Lacs.  The trees, in summer, overhang the road and enhance the beauty.
From the east side of Lake Mille Lacs.  The sun reflects off the water on a July day.  Mille Lacs Lake is about 20 miles across.
