The tiny town of Nevis is located in the heart of Minnesota’s North Woods. Despite its small size, we think Nevis punches well above its weight when it comes to charm and things to do. In fact, you’ll discover that the town is home to a man-made wonder in Minnesota with an outsized claim to fame.

Nevis is a small town of just under 400 located in the Heartland Lakes region of Minnesota, which stretches between Itasca State Park and Cass Lake, making a dogleg at Walker.
