Review & FAQ:

Located a little over 10 miles northwest of Winona, John A. Latsch State Park is a nearly 1,700-acre state park located along the Mississippi River. The park is made up of three steep bluffs that rise 500 feet above the river, Mount Hope, Mount Faith, and Mount Charity. Riverview Trailhead is the only marked pathway that travels through the park. It is made up of 592 wooden steps that climb for a half-mile, ending at the Mount Charity Overlook. Once there, trekkers be rewarded with scenic views of the Mississippi River, surrounding bluffs, floodplain forests, oak forests, and prairies.
