River Towns on the Mississippi Tour

Here’s your chance to ride in 3 states along the Mississippi River: Start at Cottage Grove, MN, and head downstream Red Wing, then cross into Wisconsin for 3 days of riding along the river. Overnight stops include Red Wing, Wabasha, and Lacrosse. This tour ends about noon on Friday after crossing into Iowa at New Albin! The best bicycling is on the Wisconsin side of the river from Red Wing to Lacrosse, and we include the very scenic Highway 35 (and a stop at Stockholm Pie) in addition to the Great River State Park Trail. About 60 of our 200 miles are on rail trail!
