On the Canadian border and along Lake Superior, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes"—as it is sometimes nicknamed—is a paradise for nature and adventure lovers. Though often overlooked by foreign tourists, many North American visitors come to admire its forests, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes, particularly in the northeast, and to enjoy the full range of summer and winter outdoor activities this environment offers. As for urban life, Minnesota is primarily defined by the "Twin Cities," the twin metropolises of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, where the majority of the state's population lives and where its economic and cultural activity is concentrated.
