Area Attractions
There's no shortage of things to do in the Lanesboro area.
From invigorating outdoor activities to fine dining, there is
something for everyone.
Biking the Root River Trail
The most popular attraction of the Historic Bluff Country area!
The Root River Trail Boasts over 70 miles of paved bike trail for all types of bicyclists.
As you bike through the rolling bluffs (without climbing them) you follow the magnificent Root River.
A 74 mile river known for it fantastic canoeing and tubing.
If your looking for scenery, fun and maybe a little exercise,
Lanesboro and the Historic Scanlan House Bed & Breakfast is the place for you!
For all of your rental needs, contact The Little River General Store
in downtown Lanesboro at 1-800-994-2943, or call us for our special guest rate.
Spend a relaxing day floating through the bluffs on the Root River
in one our new We-No-Nah Canoes, Dagger Kayaks, Orcas or River Tubes.
Or take a spin on the beautiful Root River Trail (70 miles of paved trail)
on one of our new 21 speed Fuji bikes.
We also carry a full line of Recumbents - Try a Side By Side Tandem Recumbent,
Single Recumbent, 3-Wheel Recumbent or a regular Tandem Bike!
