 Bemidji's
1990 population of 11,245 makes Bemidji the trail region's second largest city. While wood
products are still an important part of its economy, Bemidji's role as a large, diverse
commercial center has been emerging over the years. In addition to being the county seat
of Beltrami County, the city is the home for a number of major state and federal
facilities. Additional services include a full range of medical facilities, a technical
college, and Bemidji State University. Scheduled commercial airline service and railroad
freight service are available. Tourist accommodations include 15 motels with a total of
561 rooms. Of special significance are Lake Bemidji and Lake Bemidji State Park.
