Tour of Minnesota Part 2: Lake Pepin, The Widest Portion of the Mississippi River, and Maybe the Most Beautiful.
What a great feeling to discover an amazing place just 2 hours away from home.
Yesterday, I took a trip down famous Highway 61--a highway that stays close to the Mississippi all the way down to New Orleans.
Lake Pepin is a natural lake and it's the widest part of the Mississippi River. I've seen photos of Lake Pepin in the past, but to see this lake up close is truly awe-inspiring.
Seeing the bluffs up close is also very impressive. The hills are quite steep. In fact, driving through the area reminds me California or Arizona.
I started on a short hike. Then I remembered there were rattlesnakes in the bluffs, and the trail wasn't very defined and full of leaves. I didn't want to take chances. I've met a rattlesnake up close and would prefer to do that again!
Our spring has come late in Minnesota. Otherwise, it would be much greener. I am looking forward to coming back maybe in May when everything will green up and grass will be on the trees.
Hope you enjoy my photos!

I've never been there although have heard the name of the lake. Nice post!
Thank you. It's a great lake to look at, and nice hills and bluffs. It might be more popular if the lake was more functional. It's good for fishing, but unfortunately, it's pretty polluted.
