VISIT MARTIN COUNTY<br />
While you’re here, be sure to check the calendar for<br />
one of our many popular festivals, where you can get<br />
a true taste of life in <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
History buffs can delve a little deeper into the local<br />
culture by visiting various sites listed on the Minnesota<br />
National Register, while learning about Indian<br />
uprisings, military conquests and marveling at magnificent<br />
architecture – don’t forget to make time for<br />
some antique browsing along the way.Those looking<br />
to kick back and let time pass them by, should head<br />
to one of the 49 lakes scattered across the county<br />
for a relaxing day of<br />
fishing, swimming, canoeing<br />
or boating. Camping facilities<br />
at several of these lakes help to<br />
complete the perfect day of<br />
tranquility. Known as the<br />
‘City of Lakes’, <strong>Fairmont</strong> is home to<br />
five stunning bodies of water – George Lake, Lake<br />
Sisseton, Budd Lake, Hall Lake, and Amber Lake –<br />
four of which are interconnected and all offering fishing<br />
and boating opportunities.If a round of golf is<br />
more your style, we’ve got two 18-hole courses in<br />
<strong>Fairmont</strong>, and a third nine-hole facility in Sherburn.<br />
Or how about a round of disc golf? <strong>Fairmont</strong>’s Cedar<br />
Creek Park has not one, but two 18-hole courses for<br />
devotees of this increasingly popular pastime. As the<br />
colder weather settles in, prepare to switch gears<br />
and venture out onto our more than 140 miles of<br />
groomed snowmobile trails. The lush terrain of the<br />
sunshine-soaked summer months give way to a winter<br />
wonderland that will take your breath away.<br />
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing entice all<br />
ages to enjoy the crisp, clean air and frosted countryside,<br />
while fishing fans can grab their tackle boxes<br />
and try their luck at ice fishing. Did we mention our<br />
cultural sites, sporting facilities, and shopping attractions?<br />
No matter your interest or the time of year you<br />
choose to stay with us, <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> has an abundance<br />
of things to do, see and relish.<br />
