Root River Trail Alert: Due to the heavy rainfall and localized flooding the segment of the trail between Whalan and Houston is closed until the water recedes and trail assessment can take place. The segment between Fountain and Whalan is open and so is the entire Harmony-Preston Valley Trail. - MnDNR – Parks & Trails Area Supervisor.

Come and relax in a quiet place with no stoplights or franchises. Lanesboro is the premier Arts and Culture Destination of the Midwest nestled in the Bluffs of the Root River Valley. Experience the spectacular paved Root River State Bike Trail,  winding 60 miles through Bluff Country.
