Minnesota. A Prime Destination.

As the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota is a prime destination for boating, water skiing, swimming, fishing, and more. The state is also home to 20 FORTUNE 500 companies and supports one of the nation's most vital economies. But don't take our word for it. In its annual survey based on 43 factors, the Morgan Quitno Press ranked Minnesota the "Most Livable State" for 6 consecutive years.
