Minnesota’s Lake Winnie land exchange sees movement in D.C.

When Bowen Lodge owner Bill Heig saw that around 35 acres of public land was available by auction near his business on Minnesota’s Lake Winnibigoshish shoreline, he stepped in with the winning bid.
“A big California development group wanted to purchase, and they were aggressively doing that. We thought, wow, we have to stop that,” Heig said.
No, he didn’t purchase it to develop it for himself or to expand his family’s resort operation. Rather, he bought the property to preserve it.
