DINING & SHOPPING

LOCALLY MADE

There are a number of locally-made products in Sunset Country you may want to bring home with you . These include a tasty delicacy like wild rice , many locally-grown vegetables available at our Farmers ' Markets and dress wear such as moccasins , mitts and many others . Egli ’ s Sheep Farm in Minnitaki is a must stop for locally-produced goods . These products are not available anywhere else than in Sunset Country so if you want something truly unique , this is it !

FRESH WALLEYE

One of the biggest treats for visitors from outside the region is the opportunity to taste fresh walleye caught from one of our many thousands of lakes . While the traditional shore lunch is the penultimate experience , many of our local restaurants and lodges also offer freshly caught walleye as part of their menus . The freshness and sweet taste of this delicate fish is something you won ’ t believe until you actually taste it . Mouth-watering doesn ’ t adequately describe it !
