Camp at Whitewater State Park

Saint Charles, Minnesota

Whitewater State Park is at the cusp of bluff country, straddling the Whitewater River, a small tributary of the Mississippi. Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit. In Spring you'll hit wildflower season when the forest glades in the depths of the valley folds are literally carpeted with flowers. It's like wading through a sea of white and yellow and violet. Get a wildflower guide and h...

Climb Mt. Charity at John A. Latsch State Park

Minnesota City, Minnesota

5.0

1 mi / 500 ft gain

John A. Latsh State Park is directly off of Hwy. 61 a few miles north of Winona. Begin your hike at the parking lot, following the signs for the Riverview Trail. The hike itself is a short, but steep climb on a series of steps up the side of the Mt. Charity Bluff. Winding through verdant valley forest, thick with ferns and wildflowers, the stairs eventually emerge onto a bluffland prairie scatt...

Explore the Mississippi River at Fountain City

Fountain City, Wisconsin

Just off Highway 35, on the south side of Fountain City, you will find an easy access boat landing with ample parking and suitable ramps to launch your kayak, canoe or motor boat. Coming from central Wisconsin, we drove 95 that runs the ridges of the driftless region and offers beautiful views of the farmland - an added bonus for this excursion. As a family of four looking to enjoy the water fo...

Hike up to Garvin Heights Overlook

Winona, Minnesota

1 mi

Park on Huff Street on the bridge that divides Lake Winona (we parked in the lot by the Visitor Center). Walk on Huff St. towards the highway (14/61) and turn left on W. Lake Boulevard (be careful here, it’s a busy road). Continue on Lake Blvd. past Cty Rd. 44 . Before the first house on Lake Blvd. you’ll see the wooded path. Follow the path up and you’ll eventually get to Garvin Heights Pa...

Hike to the Top of Maiden Rock Bluff

Stockholm, Wisconsin

5.0

1 mi / 400 ft gain

It's easy to spot Maiden Rock Bluff as you drive along Highway 35: the 400-foot-tall limestone cliff extends for nearly a mile. Getting to the top is also easy. Begin by turning onto County Road E - a twisting, narrow road that leads straight up. Once you're at the top, keep an eye out for Long Lane, which is marked by little more than a break in the corn fields. Head west until you dead end at...

Canoe the Voyageurs Loop, Perrot State Park

Trempealeau, Wisconsin

Perrot State Park, located in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, is home to many tall bluffs, including Brady's Bluff and Trempealeau Mountain. Many elevated hikes give you a wonderful view of the Mississippi River and its surrounding bluffs, but the real treasure is seeing this area from the water by canoe. This state park marks the confluence of the Trempealeau and Mississippi Rivers. Start by r...
