GREAT RIVER ROAD
This route explores the Mississippi
River for 575 miles as it arcs across
Minnesota, traveling through all
regions of the state. Select a short
segment to drive or plan a vacation
along its entire length. This drive
features a wide array of scenery,
including the headwaters of the
Mississippi River, north woods, the
downtown areas of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, and soaring bluffs of southeast Minnesota. Along the way
are many state parks, historic sites and inviting river towns. Trace the
river as it grows from a small wilderness stream to a major waterway.
A great website offers lots of information, including maps, driving
directions and information on attractions and events along the route:
