Lake County, Administrative county in northeastern Minnesota, United States
Lake County stretches along Lake Superior's northern shore, encompassing vast forests, rocky cliffs, and numerous inland waterways across its territory.
The county's establishment in 1856 marked the beginning of organized settlement, with Two Harbors becoming the administrative center for regional development.
The Lake County Fair brings together local artisans, farmers, and residents for exhibitions, competitions, and traditional music performances throughout the year.
Two Harbors provides municipal services, including water utilities, waste management, and emergency response systems for the county's residential areas.
The county maintains an active shipping port where massive freighters transport iron ore from Minnesota's mining regions through Lake Superior's waters.
