Roseau

Roseau, Minnesota’s North Star City, is an energetic, progressive community of over 2,800 located just ten minutes from the Canadian Border in beautiful Northwest Minnesota. Roseau is a small community; however, residence enjoy an excellent public school system, first-class medical facilities, good employment opportunities, diverse civic and community organizations, extensive recreational opportunities and a strong business community. Roseau is also the county seat of Roseau County and home to a variety of Local, State and Federal governmental offices.

One of the most notable facts about Roseau is that it is the birthplace of snowmobiling and Polaris Industries. Today, Roseau is still home to the snowmobile and Polaris Industries although Polaris produces more All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) than snowmobiles.

Visit the Polaris Industries Assembly Plant and watch snowmobiles and ATVs being built. The Polaris Experience Center, located one block from the Polaris Assembly Plant, chronicles the history of Polaris dating back to the very first snow machines ever built.

Roseau is located in an environmental transitional area of Minnesota where the coniferous forest gives way to the prairies of the Red River Valley. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate Roseau’s spectacular array of offerings. Surrounding Roseau are tamarack bogs to the north, prairie grasslands to the west and sandy pine forests to the east. Nearly forty percent of Roseau County is open access State or County parkland, forest or wildlife areas. These areas provide ample opportunity for hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, ATV riding, horseback riding, snowmobiling, berry picking, hiking and cross country skiing. In fact, Outdoor Living Magazine placed Roseau 20th in the nation in its 2009 ranking of County Courthouse the best cities for outdoor enthusiasts.

Roseau has something for every interest. You will enjoy the unique beauty of Roseau, along with the great people who call it home. That is why Men’s Journal Magazine named Roseau: “The Friendliest Place in America.” So no matter what you are looking for Roseau just feels like home!

Thief River Falls

Thief River Falls is the home of snowmobile manufacturer Arctic Cat. South of Thief River Falls is one of the area’s few Native American casinos, 7 Clans Casino, which also contains a hotel and indoor water park. Thief River Falls is home to the electronic parts distributor Digi-Key, one of the largest employers in the area, and was the birthplace of the vaunted Steiger Tractor, produced from 1958 to the late 1980s.

Thief River Falls first developed as a lumber milling town.It also became a major agricultural service area because of the rich soil left by ancient, glacial Lake Agassiz. The unusual name, “Thief River,” was given to the river by the Ojibwe and Dakota people. “Falls” was added to the name of the new city in 1896 because a series of rapids in the river had been converted to a waterfall by the construction of a dam. Until 1904, an Ojibwe village of 40 families was located where the Thief River and Red Lake River meet. The Great Northern and Soo Line Railroads brought prosperity when Thief River Falls became a center for shipping wheat. Today, the city continues its entrepreneurial spirit, preserving and respecting the past, yet growing and moving toward the future, especially in the manufacturing and distribution industries.

Warroad

Located on Highway 11, just five miles south of the Canadian border on Lake of the Woods, Warroad is ideally situated and equipped to offer you the opportunity to enjoy many activities in northern Minnesota.

The local residents like to say that Warroad is known for three things: walleyes, windows and hockey. And indeed this is the case. Warroad is currently the only American port on Lake of the Woods, making for quick, easy access to fishing on “the big lake.” It is also home to Marvin Windows and Doors, a company known internationally for its quality products, corporate integrity and family heritage. Finally, Warroad’s infamous moniker, “HockeyTown USA” boasts of its proud hockey legacy.

And Warroad is so much more! Not only does Warroad offer excellent summer fishing and ice fishing, there is also hunting and other outdoor activities for any season. Interested in exploring the region? Due to its central location on Lake of the Woods and Highway 11, Warroad can be a great “base camp,” providing all of the necessary amenities for your adventures as well as comforts of town after you spend the day taking in all the area has to offer.

Warroad also has plenty of indoor activities such as shopping, swimming, and glow-in-the-dark mini-golf for the family. Win big at the Seven Clans Casino, catch a hockey game nearly any time of the year (be sure to check out our own Olympic “Hall of Fame”), visit The Shed a unique collection of antique cars, or take in a production of the Warroad Summer Theatre.
