Plan a day trip with help from the Red Wing Visitors Bureau
Whether your "home base" is Red Wing or somewhere nearby, an unforgettable day trip is within reach. Visitors planning to travel solo, with family, someone special, or a group are invited to contact the Red Wing Visitors and Convention Bureau for help creating a fun-filled itinerary that ranges from relaxed and restoring to rugged and rejuvenating!
History and architecture buffs will enjoy the city's Victorian homes, historic buildings, hotels, and landmarks including the train depot and turn-of-the-century municipal theater.
The Goodhue County History Center offers a look into the area's past, including of Native Americans who lived in the area, the impacts of the pottery, shoe manufacturing and agricultural industries on the city and state and more.
Red Wing's scenic location is perfect for a Great River Road Fall Color Tour or a Mississippi Ramble to see bald eagles, tundra swans and other birds depending upon the time of year.
River enthusiasts can spend a day sailing on Lake Pepin, fishing, or watch the famous paddle boats Mississippi Queen, Delta Queen and American Queen coming up the river.
Visitors seeking a more adventurous day trip from Red Wing can bike the Cannon Valley Trail, golf, rock climb or mountain bike, all while taking in scenic bluff views and vistas.
No visit to Red Wing is complete without spending at least a little bit of time shopping the city’s unique boutiques, galleries and antique stores!
