La Crescent, MN
La Crescent is uniquely located on three scenic
byways; Apple Blossom Scenic Byway, National
Historic Bluff Country Scenic Byway and the
Great River Road all pass through La Crescent. Come
enjoy all the beauty of southeastern Minnesota and the
Mississippi River. You will find plenty of outdoor recreation
with hiking, bicycling, boating, kayaking, fishing,
birding, snowshoeing and more!
La Crescent is “The Apple Capital of Minnesota”!
Steeped in tradition, La Crescent has been celebrating the
apple harvest for over 70 years. Visit us mid-May when
the apple blossoms are in full bloom and the colors in the
apple trees are spectacular. Join us the second Saturday in
August for the Apple Blossom Bike Tour, an annual bike
tour featuring five different rides – from a scenic 16-mile
ride along the Mississippi River bed to the 100-mile ride
along the tops of the bluffs. Apple Fest is held the third
weekend in September and offers fun for the whole family,
culminating with the King Apple Parade on Sunday
afternoon. Be sure to sample some of our many delicious
and unique varieties of home-grown apples. Enjoy the
local farmers market held Tuesdays from 4-7 p.m. at the
Event Center parking lot from May through October.
Enjoy the drive and stay for the fun!
