White Bear Lake
Welcome to White Bear Lake! This city is named after the lake that sits in its’ center, and has more than one legend illustrating the origin of the name of the lake and city. This is a charming small town with downtown shops and restaurants, lake living, and and lake recreation opportunities. Some of our favorite restaurants downtown are Washington Square and Aqua WBL.
Every summer on Thursdays, the downtown area shuts down access for cars and they put on their Market Fest which includes things like “food (over 30 food vendors), merchandise, art, and handcrafted goods. And there are numerous activities for children including a petting zoo and games.” Find out more (dates and locations) HERE!
