yourself to a new adventure, we have what you want.

Things to Do
on the Water
Since we are surrounded (almost literally),
it is only right that we brag about our awesome lakes first. For those of you that aren’t
lake people, you really need to get with
the program. Here are some of our favorite
things to do on the water.
1 2
3
4 5
Fish
Throw out a line and
try your luck at fishing one of
our many species of fish.
Float
For a more relaxing water adventure, spend the
day tubing down the Otter Tail
River. Or tie yourself to a dock.
Paddle Board
Day or night, paddle boarding is the
perfect way to explore the water.
Kayak and Canoe
Discover the water by kayak or
canoe. There is over 4,600 miles of
shoreline to explore!
Water Ski
For those with
good balance and high pain tolerance,
skiing behind a boat is sure to get your
adrenaline running.

Tube
Down the river or behind a
boat, the choice is yours…and it’s always a
good time.
Wakeboard
Adrenaline junkies
will also love wakeboarding – a cousin to water
skiing.
Swim
Keep it simple and just go for
a dip! Whether you skinny dip or chunky
dunk, our lakes have plenty of swimming
holes.
Boat
Discover your own
speed as you cruise around one
of our area lakes by speedboat or
pontoon.
Beach on the
Sandbar
Many of our
lakes have a sandbar or two. Pack
up the pontoon and beach it for
the day.
Play in the Sand
Post up along the beach and show off
your architectural skills. Biggest
sandcastle wins!

Ice Fish
Fun on the water doesn’t
stop once winter finds us. Frozen lakes call
for a whole new realm of activities to enjoy! A
bucket and a popup is all you really need, but
it is more fun to have a luxury fish house with
bunks, a fireplace, and a pizza oven!
13 14
Snowmobile
Blaze your
own trail across one of our frozen lakes on a
snowmobile.
Ice Skate
Frozen lakes call for ice skating
as well. Or maybe even a game of hockey or two.

The Great Outdoors
We Minnesotans have learned to take advantage of our climate and our four seasons.
There is so much to enjoy no matter the season.
1
2
Golf – Whether you are looking
for a challenge or
a chuckle, our area
golf courses are
the perfect activity
for a lakes country
getaway.
RC Flyers –“Fly’em like you stole’em!”
With a motto like that, you know you
are in for a good time. They have flight
instructors and training equipment
onsite to help you learn how to fly.
3
Horseback Riding – Saddle up
and trail ride through the beautiful
countryside along many lakes and rivers.
4
Hunt – Hunting seasons might as well
be a holiday around here. Everyone
heads out to their favorite spot to find
their catch of the season.
5
Shoot – If hunting isn’t your game, but
you still enjoy shooting, you are in luck.
Perham offers one of the best ranges
in the state. Fort Thunder Shooting
6
Disc Golf – Coined Frolfing, disc golf or
Frisbee golf is like playing regular golf
but with a Frisbee. Get around a course
in as few throws as possible.
7
8
9
Parks – The
parks in our
area are home
to a number of
different activities.
From a skate park
to a memorial,
there is a spot
waiting just for
you. Relax or play – the choice is yours!
Camping – Watching your family pitch a
tent is sure to bring some good laughs.
Stay up all night sharing stories and star
gazing.
10
Biking – Perham has three
interconnected bike trails covering
the whole city, available for bikers or
walkers. Take a cruise on the Arvig Park
Trail, Wellness
Trail, and
Wildflower Trail.
It’s not about
how fast you
go; it’s about
enjoying the
ride.
Run – We like to keep active around here,
so we created the Perham Race Series.
A variety of different races are put on
throughout the year. That’s right, the whole
year. We kick it off with a Freeze Your Face
Race in January.
11
Walk – Running isn’t for all of us though.
Walk your way through the races, on our
trails, or through our shops!
12
Drive – Need an excuse to take a cruise
around the area? Look no further than
the Otter Trail Scenic Byway. Discover the
great views, as well as plenty of reasons
to stop along the way in the communities,
13
Motorcycle – You’ll feel like a king as
you cruise around the open roads that
weave around our lakes area. What are
you waiting for?
14
Ski – Just minutes from many lakes,
trails, and Detroit Mountain, your next
skiing adventure is just waiting for you.
15
Sunset – Catch the picturesque sunset
as it disappears behind the beautiful
vegetation among our many lakes. For
you early risers, the sunrise is just as
magnificent.

and person has their own story. Our two museums and historic Pioneer Village exist to
help share the stories of our area – a perfect educational activity for any age.
Spa Day – Every once in a while, you just need to get taken care of. Let one of our local
salons and spas pamper you like you deserve. Whether it’s hair, nails, massage, or other
beauty services, they have exactly what you need.

delight. But the shopping continues throughout the whole area! The wide variety of
offerings could keep people of all ages entertained for hours on end. Check out our

5 Ways to Explore Entertainment & Culture
Every small town has a culture of their own.
1. Live Entertainment – Music, concerts, and plays are just a few
of the live entertainment options in our area. Many of the local
bars have live music on weekends throughout the year, while
larger concerts and plays are held at either the Perham Center
for the Arts or the Perham High School Auditorium. Either way,
Perham always puts on a good show!
2. Waves of Discovery – The Waves of Discovery Mural is art to
experience and explore. It was created with a medium of carved
concrete and includes elements of agates, fossils fused glass,
and mosaics. Designed to encourage interaction among viewers,
there are over 50 items hidden among the panels of the mural to
seek and find.
3. International Turtle Races – Every Wednesday during the
summer, a crowd gathers around a paved ring to race turtles.
Seems silly, but it’s been a way of life for almost 40 years! We have
turtles available, but you can also train your own for the big race.
4. Farmers Market –
Vendors of locally made or
produced goods gather each
Wednesday and Friday during
the summer for a local farmers
market. Buy local and buy
fresh.
5. Perham Center for the Arts – The Perham Center for the
Arts is a former 100-year-old architectural marvel that hosts
everything from musical productions to weddings and painting
classes. Each year during Perham’s Turtle Fest celebration, a
$10,000 cash prize is given away to a lucky raffle winner during
the Arts and Crafts Festival.

local flavors, craft brews, or specialty beverages

Eat & Drink

Café or Bistro – Just because cafés don’t offer full service,
doesn’t mean they don’t produce some of the tastiest meals.
Whether you order coffee or a sandwich, you can taste the
perfection.

in food, service, and atmosphere. Try some of the best, and
most unique, dining options on the market.

Family Style –

Fine Dining
Got a crew with you that is starving from being
on the lake all day? No problem. We have plenty of familystyle restaurants that have food options for the whole gang.
Nightlife – As we’ve mentioned before, there is always something going on in the lakes
area. Nightlife is no different. Enjoy live music and drink specials at some of our local
bar & eateries.

starters. On the Go – It seems like we are constantly on the fly these
days. But eating doesn’t need to take a back burner. Try
one of our many restaurants that have quick and affordable
service. Not to mention tasty eats!
Coffeehouse
– If you just need an afternoon pick-me-up,

You may be tempted to skip it, but an annual health
exam is always worthwhile. We can help find health
concerns before they become bigger problems.
We’re able to assess your overall health and discuss
your concerns. Here at Perham Health, we offer
the services and screenings that can help you live a
longer, healthier life.
If you’re ready for a supportive and thorough
checkup, schedule an appointment with our health
care team today.
