Welcome Glenwood
Where Every Season Shines.
Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnewaska, Glenwood offers a balance of recreation and relaxation that defines the Minnesota experience. The Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center greets travelers year-round with ideas for every kind of adventure. Summer brings Waterama, concerts in the park, and lake days under clear skies. Fall and winter trade swimsuits for cozy sweaters and community celebrations such as Winterama and Magical Christmas in Glenwood. Local businesses fill downtown with cheerful displays, and visitors often find themselves returning for the warmth that goes beyond the weather. From parks and trails to hometown festivals, Glenwood shines as a destination that captures what people love about the Midwest—friendliness, scenery, and the sense that every visitor becomes part of the story.
