Lakeside Gathering Place

Following the true meaning of Tii Gavo, a Native American phrase meaning The Gathering Place, we have created many locations throughout the Tii Gavo Community in Scandia Minnesota for residents to gather, entertain, and relax while enjoying the surrounding beauty. The feature area is the Lakeside Gathering Place. Located at the marina and beach area on Painted Turtle Bay, residents can grill and eat together at the picnic pavilion that overlooks the lake. The well-lit recreation area includes two barbecue grills, picnic tables, a sand volleyball court, sand beach area, marina, canoe and kayak racks. There is also an enclosed restroom and shower area for your comfort and convenience. This central gathering place is adjacent to the Tii Gavo Trail System, with easy access for a stroll or bike ride through many of the scenic paths.

Community Bonfire Pit

Located on the south point of the Tii Gavo Community in Scandia Minnesota, overlooking both Big Marine Lake and Painted Turtle Bay, the Community Bonfire Area is perched atop a picturesque knoll. Envision yourself amidst a deciduous forest area, the perfect spot to enjoy a bonfire with family and friends. This heavenly, at-the-lake setting lets you feel up north in the woods, yet you remain conveniently close to home, just a casual stroll away.

Fishing & Swimming Platforms on Rasmussen Pond

Located on the northern border of the Tii Gavo community in Scandia Minnesota is Rasmussen Pond, an idyllic waterfront respite featuring picturesque views in the midst of a quiet, nature setting. Stop off at the community fishing pier and sit for a spell, or toss in a line and try your luck at catching some mouth watering panfish. The kids and the young at heart will make their way out to the swim platform for some good old summertime fun, too! This beautiful pond will remain non-motorized to preserve its pristine and peaceful nature.

Community Orchard

Located near the northern entrance to Tii Gavo is a notable community orchard where residents can harvest and enjoy a variety of apples, plums, and pears. Act quickly in the fall as deer and wildlife like to sample them, too!

Parkland

In keeping with the underlying concept of creating a low-impact development, nearly 100 acres of land within the Tii Gavo Community in Scandia Minnesota have been protected via conservation easements. The quality and diversity of the landscape make this a lake community to be treasured and preserved. Residents of Tii Gavo will get to savor the protected land for years to come.

Tii Gavo Trail System

The Tii Gavo Community Scandia Minnesota Trail System has approximately 2.75 miles of trails for owners to explore. The trails cut through the woods and meadows of Tii Gavo, where you’ll encounter wooded forests including pines, maples, oaks, and birch, as well as prairie meadows and hilly forest terrain. This route also takes you along the Tii Gavo waterfront, offering hiking that promises varied landscapes, wildlife, and natural habitats.
