I lived in Minnesota for many years, and up north meant northern MN lake country. My favorite was backpacking the boundary waters.

When my Dad retired from the Air Force, he and Mom moved to the UP (upper peninsula for those not familiar with Michigan)…that was my experience of “up north” though I knew it was not the only definition of it! They had a beautiful home (which had the feel of a large cabin, not fancy) on ten wooded acres on a small lake, with eagles, beavers, deer, chipmunks, porcupine, and bear. The lake was for non-motorized craft only, and canoeing on it was so peaceful! Thank you for asking a question that sent me down that memory lane.
