| Edge of the Wilderness Scenic Byway |
| The Byway meanders 47 miles north from Grand
Rapids to Effie, Minnesota. You are invited to come and
celebrate our northern hospitality, hometown pride and the
treasures of our natural heritage. Minnesota, midway between
America's east and west coasts, is home to 12,000 lakes. It is
filled with beautiful country and all the treasures of the four
seasons. The Edge of the Wilderness is the rustic slice of this
great state, with more than 1,000 lakes and one mighty river
nearby, all in a landscape of remarkable natural beauty. It
offers some of Minnesota's most popular fishing, hunting,
camping, trail, winter sports and resort opportunities. For more
information on what to see and do within the Edge of the
Wilderness communities, call or visit the U.S. Forest Service
District Office in Marcell, or contact your local Office of
Tourism.

 The
Rodeo just outside of Effie is a full-featured one. Everything
you will find in rodeos across the West is on display here. The
contestants are mostly home grown, but some veteran cowboys from
all parts of the U.S. and Canada come to do their thing at the
Minnesota's North Star Rodeo.It's a ceremonial re-creation of how it was done during pioneer times conducted safely under the rules of the Minnesota Rodeo Association. The events mentioned above are all contested each day of the three day rodeo. |
