Meadowlands, MN

Meadowlands is a tiny St. Louis County community of 174 people along Minnesota's Iron Range. Reach it via Highway 169 from Grand Rapids (25 miles southeast) or Hibbing to the north, with connections to Highway 2 for longer trips to Duluth. The town sits amid dense northern forests that provide natural wind protection during brutal winters. Plan EV charging in Grand Rapids or Hibbing, as local options are limited. The community's post office doubles as an informal gathering spot and serves as the town's social hub.
