The naturalist in you will be fulfilled within a day or two of summer time recreation in Garrison. I can think of few places in which you can hunt and fish yet show family members and friends a good time in first class style. Between the variety of shopping experiences in Brainered, first class lodging, (the casino) and fishing on Minnesota's premier Walleye Lake within 30 miles of each other, Garrison truely has something for everyone.
Our family got in on Garrison Days for the first time this year - it was exceptional for such a small town. They had a super parade! Also - if you ever get the chance - their 4th of July fireworks are beautiful! It's really a fun little town.
