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.

Former Northfield author to visit Faribault bookstore ahead of new novel

Priscilla Paton, the author of the Twin Cities Mystery book series, will be at Books on Central in Faribault Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. The formerly Northfield-based writer will be part of the nonprofit bookstore’s series of monthly literary events ahead of her new novel, which she is looking to release in spring 2027. During an interview with the Faribault Daily News, she talked about her book series, which she described as a “warped police procedural” with a mixture of comedic and dramatic elements. “The crimes are serious, but the banter is not,” Paton said. The Twin Cities Mystery series follows two detectives, Erik Jansson and Deb Metzger, who work together to solve murders in Minnesota, despite their many differences in personality. “They’re kind of like oil and vinegar,” Paton said. “They’re certainly not enemies, but they just think very differently. Jansson is very outdoorsy, and he doesn’t say a whole lot. And when he does, it can be ironic, you can’t really tell. But she (Metzger) sometimes speaks before she thinks.” A major part of Paton’s inspiration for writing has been Scandinavian mystery books, such as Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” something Paton finds fitting given
