Walker, MN
High bluffs, lakes, and pines form a beautiful physical setting for the City of Walker, situated on the shores of Leech Lake, the main tourist center for much of the Chippewa National Forest, northern Cass County, and adjacent Hubbard County. Originally an Indian mission, and later a lumbering, trading, and sawmill center offering goods for settlers and loggers in and around the village, the advent of the railroad stimulated Walker's economy and added new population growth. The village and surrounding area have grown slowly but steadily throughout the past fifty years. The Paul Bunyan Trail (paved) goes right through town and meets with the Heartland Trail (paved), a bicyclist paradise. Fall is beautiful. The trees turn and the colors are gorgeous. Bring your camera. Fall fishing is a must. Then winter sets in... Snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, skiing, and hanging around the hearth drinking hot cocoa and roasting marshmallows. Whatever you want to do, you can do it in Walker!
