Have you ever traveled to a town that leaves a lasting impression on your mind? A place so beautiful and quaint that you never forget your time there? Minnesota has no shortage of beautiful towns, and today, we're going to zoom in on one very special location.
According to a list compiled by AFAR, the most charming, beautiful town in all of Minnesota is Ely. This lovely little location also ranked among the most charming small towns across the country! AFAR praised this one-of-a-kind town for its stunning landscape among other desirable qualities.
Here's what AFAR detailed about the absolute most charming small town in the entire state:
"Cozied up to the Canadian border, Ely is best known as the gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a million-acre reserve of interconnected rivers, lakes, and forest. The town also boasts the world’s highest concentration of dog sled outfitters per capita. Test your mushing skills by signing up for a half-day fun run or challenging backcountry trek with Chilly Dogs Sled Dog Trips; the family-run operator counts dozens of retired racing dogs among its crew. While you’re in the canine spirit, pop by the International Wolf Center to meet its ambassador wolves and learn why wolf conservation is so important."
