Fifty Lakes, MN

Fifty Lakes is a Crow Wing County city named with a number that actually matches the setting. It was incorporated in 1949, while the post office dates to 1926, and the city’s road map runs along County State Aid Highways 1 and 3 plus County Road 136. That mix of lakes, forest roads, and seasonal homes puts Fifty Lakes firmly in north-central Minnesota’s cabin country. The place is part of the Brainerd micropolitan area, but its own introduction is simpler: fifty lakes and a lot of county road.
