Mille Lacs Kathio State Park to Onamia

I took this Video and photos with my phone cam while biking with my Dad from Onamia to Kathio State Park on Saturday September 26 2015. Archeology Day was going on at the park, just a quick glimpse of it is in the video. There was quite a bit more going on. Many demonstrations including showing how wild rice is harvested and processed, and archery still done today. As well as excavating an earth home, and showing how plants were used hundreds of years ago. Then I went on the fire tower and could see the lakes. On Sunday September 27 2015 went on a short journey on the Soo line Trail.

Onamia, Minnesota

Onamia is a city in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 878 at the 2010 census. U.S. Highway 169 and Minnesota State Highway
Onamia, Minnesota is located at the junction of Highways 169 and 27, just south of Mille Lacs Lake on the shore of Lake Onamia.
Onamia received its name from Lake Onamia, which in Ojibwe means “dancing ground.” The dance symbolizes either petition or thanksgiving. The city of Onamia is located where early American Indians performed these dances.
The city dates to 1908 when lumbering was a major industry in the Mille Lacs area, and the first trains reached the town.
Today, Onamia is the area's largest city, housing the Mille Lacs Health System, some light industry and many small, locally owned businesses.
A public library located in the Soo Line Depot, three city parks (one with a tennis court), a little league ballfield, a skate park (skate board and ice-skating), the Lions Fitness Center, and several Fitness Trails provide in-town recreation. Nearby are three golf courses, two State Parks (Kathio State Park and Father Hennepin State Park) and many recreational opportunities on Lake Mille Lacs. Onamia is also home to more Little Free Libraries than anywhere else.
The Soo Line South Trail, a bicycle and ATV trail runs thru Onamia. Parking is available at the Depot Library. Onamia is also on the newly designated (2018) Lake Mille Lacs Scenic Byway.

Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
