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. Excellent for biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, it runs along towering limestone bluffs, dense hardwood forests and peaceful small towns.
We have been coming to Lanesboro for years to ride the bike trail in the summer and cross country ski in the winter. We love the beautiful scenery and never miss stopping at the pie shop in Whalan.
