Review & FAQ:
Sitting on the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, Lake Pepin is a beautiful lake created by a natural widening of the Mississippi River. The lake is surrounded by a 70-mile highway dotted with charming villages and interesting attractions, and it's possible to do the entire circuit as a day trip if you don't get too sidetracked. Some of the most popular stops include the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historical Museum, the Nelson Cheese Factory, and the National Eagle Center, but if you'd rather simply relax and do some shopping, the tiny town of Stockholm is your best bet.
