St. Croix River
Canoes for rent in the summer on Lake Winona in Winona, Minnesota
Sugarloaf trail....360 degree views from the top of sugar loaf of the Mississippi River valley. 28 routes for rock climbing to the peak....nice hiking trail to the base!
Not everywhere in the Midwest is flat. On the boarder of Minnesota and Wisconsin, the town of Winona's beauty will surprise any MidWesterner once they see the rolling hills and beautiful foliage. Fall is a great time to visit to see the leaves changing through the winding roads of Interstate 90. There's even plenty of places to rent kayaks and canoes if you'd like to get on the water! With plenty of local coffee shops and breweries, it's easy to find a place to relax near the Mississippi River. #LifeAtExpedia
