Fellow Minnesotan here, also dreading the lack of social release valves. I can confirm that there are hiking opportunities in the winter though, and I'm sure the trails of county and state parks will be especially well kept and trafficked this year.
Another hobby I'm looking to pick up to offset the loss of a gym is winter biking. I purchased an electric bike last year and have thoroughly enjoyed riding it long distances in the warmer months on the local trails. I hear that many of the trails are plowed in the winter, so I'm hoping to find safe places to use it that can avoid the ever-present ice.
