Fun Facts
Elk River doesn't actually have elk anymore, but we do have amazing river views and way better coffee shops than any elk could appreciate.
Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is home to over 230 bird species. That's more birds than your neighbor's holiday decorating collection!
Big Lake is actually… big. We know, shocking. But with 1,800+ acres, it's the perfect place to lose your fishing pole and find your zen.
The county pronounce is SHER-burn, not SHER-burr-nee. Get it right, or the locals will know you're new here. (Don't worry, we'll still be nice about it!)
Becker hosts the Freedom Days festival every June, proving that Minnesotans will celebrate anything with funnel cakes and a parade.
