Clearwater County, Minnesota

Clearwater County is up in the northwestern part of Minnesota. Its name comes from the crystal-clear waters that flow through its rivers and lakes. And they do it in such a way that makes it hard to forget.
The county seat is Bagley, located along U.S. Highway 2. People come here year-round to fish and hike. Winter brings snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
The area’s rich history includes Native American settlements and early European exploration. Itasca State Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi River, is partly located in Clearwater County. It’s a must-visit spot.
