Tower (2010 Census 500) is situated on the beautiful shores of Lake Vermilion, one Minnesota's premier fishing lakes. The city also is a gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Located at the junction of State Highways 135 and 169, it is an accessible and central location for leisure and business travelers in northern Minnesota.

The Tower Airport is one of the few in the state with a seaplane base and features a 60-acre tax-free JOBZ sub-zone where growth-oriented businesses could take flight. Additional sites are available in this growing community. Quality schools, spectacular scenery, nearby recreational opportunities, and a rich natural history make Tower a great place to live and work.
