Remer, MN

Remer sits in the heart of northern Minnesota’s lake and timber country, right where Highway 6 and Highway 200 cross in Cass County. It is a quiet, down-to-earth town surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest and dozens of great fishing spots, including nearby Thunder Lake. Life here moves at an easy northwoods pace, with residents spending their free time out on the water, exploring the woods, or riding the Soo Line Trail.
