Big Sand is an excellent lake for fishing. There are also Northerns, Crappies and Largemouth Bass. But, the lake's reputation is for Bluegills. Nice Bluegills!

You can find the Judy Garland Museum, the Children's Discover Museum, The Forest History Center and the Reif Center in Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids also has a multi-theater Cineplex, four golf courses, a pitch and putt and the annual presentation of Showboat.

Less than two hours to the east of Remer is Duluth. Take an easy day trip and visit the Glensheen Mansion, or take a ride on the harbor cruise. Watch the Aerial Lift Bridge rise to allow a "laker" boat to pass underneath, and tour the Washington Irving, a retired ore boat.

Bring your fishing gear and shotgun. Do some Grouse hunting in the morning and fishing in the afternoon. Some of the best fishing of the year can occur in the fall.
