About Bena, Minnesota
Bena thrives on Leech Lake, a 112,000-acre giant drawing fishermen for walleye, northern pike, and muskies each summer. The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe shapes local life; visit the nearby Sugar Point peninsula for reservation history and powwows. Trails in adjacent Chippewa National Forest wind through pines to hidden bays perfect for kayaks.
