Unlock your potential through possibility.The City of BemidjiBemidji State University and Northwest Technical College lie amid the lakes and forests of northern Minnesota. Bemidji State occupies a wooded campus along the western shore of Lake Bemidji while Northwest Technical College lies just three miles east, near Bemidji?s robust industrial district.?The city sits between Minnesota?s three largest American Indian tribal nations: the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, the Red Lake Nation and the White Earth Nation. When settling the Bemidji area in 1750, the Ojibwe people named the lake Bemidjigamaag, which means ?a lake with crossing waters? as the Mississippi River flows in from the south and exits on the east. Today, a city proper with a population of around 15,000 serves as a regional economic and cultural hub for about 100,000 Minnesotans.Located just minutes away from a thriving downtown Bemidji, both the BSU and NTC campus communities have convenient access to affordable restaurants, fine-dining experiences, cozy coffee shops, grocery stores ? including a natural foods co-op ? city parks, and nearly unlimited outdoor recreational opportunities. Small, locally-owned shops and art sculptures line Bemidji's downtown streets, while national chains are also found in and around the area.?The historic Paul Bunyan Playhouse has a calendar of classic shows, restaurants offer weekly live music performances, the First Friday Art Walk provides a tour of new monthly art exhibits, and annual festivals bring the community together throughout the year.?Additionally, the North Woods setting means students, staff, and faculty have a variety of activities available at their fingertips year-round. With more than 400 lakes ? and a 240-acre research forest owned by BSU ? within 25 miles of the city, there is easy access to kayaking, canoeing, swimming, boating, paddle boarding, hunting, hiking, biking, foraging, fishing, and more. An expansive network of?multi-use trail systems is available for running, cross-country skiing, single-track or fat-tire biking, and skijoring. Further, downhill skiing, snowboarding, and tubing lie just north of Bemidji at the Buena Vista Ski Area.Bemidji is also near two of Minnesota?s 66 state parks:?Lake Bemidji State Park, which sits along Lake Bemidji?s northern shore, and Itasca State Park, home to the majestic Mississippi River Headwaters. Both parks are popular recreational and camping destinations where locals and tourists gather for sailing, swimming, and fishing during the summer months, and?skating, hockey, curling, and?yes?more fishing in the winter.?Of course, no tour of Bemidji is complete without a visit to ? and a selfie with ? its two most famous residents: the iconic statues of Paul Bunyan and his trusty companion, Babe the Blue Ox. The famed duo, which has greeted visitors to Bemidji since 1937, is on the National Register of Historic Places and was once ranked by Kodak as the second most-photographed statue in America.For further information, visit our website at: https://www.ntcmn.eduReview a special report on how this former lumber town has rebuilt itself as a high-speed, regional center of enterprise at Bemidji 2.0Other Resources:Visit Bemidji ? https://www.visitbemidji.com/218 Relocate / Greater Bemidji ? https://www.218relocate.com/Bemidji Area Chamber of Commerce ? https://www.bemidji.org/Explore Minnesota ? https://www.exploreminnesota.com/article/top-things-to-do-bemidjiStatement of NoticeBemidji State University prohibits discrimination and sexual violence of any kind.
