NO MATTER WHAT THE SEASON

Summer

Hit the water

Take advantage of those hot, sunny days to visit one of Nisswa's many area lakes for fishing, swimming and boating. Don't forget the tubes, wakeboards and water skis.

Play in a park

Your family — especially the kids — will love our parks along with the Paul Bunyan and Gull Lake trails for exercise and nature watching.

Shop and eat

Make shopping a part of your day and find plenty of places to eat. Many eating establishments offer decks and patios to savor the summer weather outside while dining or having coffee or other beverage of choice.

Race a turtle; celebrate Freedom Turtle races are a summer staple at 2 p.m. Wednesdays. And Freedom Days is always July 3 with a 7 p.m. parade.

Winter

Take in winter's splendor

When the snow falls, Nisswa is transformed into a scene straight out of a holiday movie. Bundle up and browse our stores and eating establishments.

Watch the city light up

Don't miss our City of Lights celebration the day after Thanksgiving, when Nisswa lights up for the holidays and offers a fantastic fireworks show in the crisp, winter air. Thousands of lights twinkle up and down the streets and holiday shopping is in full swing.

Play outside

Visit Mount Ski Gull for winter skiing, tubing and snowboarding. Take to the numerous trails for snowmobiling. Join a "small city on the lake" with other ice anglers trying to catch the big one!
