Discover Great River Bluffs State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

The Great River Bluffs State Park lies along the border of Wisconsin and Minneapolis, on the banks of the Mississippi River that marks a natural boundary between the states. Although somewhat off the beaten path, the park is easily accessed via Highway 61 or Interstate Route 90, with approaches from Rochester and Minneapolis.

Recognized as a state park in 1976, the area was originally known as O.L Kipp State Park, a nod to a man who was integral in building the Minnesota highway system. In the late ‘90s, the park was renamed after the prominent geological formations found there; its steep buffs rise 500 feet above the river, creating narrow valleys and unique ecosystems.

It is conveniently located between the two larger cities, Winona, and LaCrosse, WI. Book an RV in Winona County for a getaway that has the perfect balance of natural beauty and city convenience.

He is very personable and although I didn’t meet him in person as the situation did not allow it, I would definitively say I would rent from him again.
