A Community You Can Settle Into

Bemidji, the judicial seat of Beltrami County, is situated on Lake Bemidji and Lake Irving, sister lakes fed by the Mississippi River.  It is a progressive, friendly city of quaint charm in a setting of real natural beauty.

Our city is primarily a retail sales community with forestry, education, manufacturing, and travel industries contributing to our economy.

Families enjoy the secondary educational opportunities/activates that the Northwest Technical College and Bemidji State University provide for the community and surrounding area.

A network of mapped and marked snowmobile trails links three states and Canada.

Many state forests and numerous lakes help make this area a hunting and fishing paradise.

The area boasts many golf courses, hiking and biking trails, a curling arena, many skating rinks, and both downhill and cross-country skiing.
