Itasca State Park

While  in Bemidji, we took a side trip to Lake Itasca to see the beginning of the Mississippi River. 

 

Small enough to walk across, it's hard to believe that this river eventually becomes the Mighty Mississippi as it ends in the Gulf of Mexico.

















I walked across but Dave gave some wimpy excuse (he didn't want the camera to get wet).

Of course while in Bemidji we had to stop by to see Paul Bunyan and Babe.
