Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.

The city’s 2040 comprehensive plan calls for commercial use on the Central Avenue parcels and sets a goal of improving the corridor’s appearance and viability. Nick Soldano, a community development intern, wrote in a report to the council that allowing more uses could make both the individual properties and the corridor more viable for businesses. Under the city’s zoning code, limited business districts provide a transition between residential and commercial uses and are designed to be “a functional and harmonious part of the neighborhood.” General business districts are intended for major roads away from residential neighborhoods and are primarily accessible by car.
