Partners, Lake Pepin Tourism Lake Pepin is said to be one of the best areas for inland sailing in the world. The coulees between the bluffs bring winds from various directions that converge on the 22 mile long lake.
Lake Pepin is the largest river lake on the Mississippi and at one time
extended all of the way north to St. Paul. The Mississippi River Valley we
see today was carved bluff to bluff through the process of receding glacial
waters. At the south end of Lake Pepin, an enormous amount of water is forced
through the river channel. It is this force, combined with the steady
movement of water draining into the Mississippi River from two tributary
Rivers which allow the waters around the lower end of the Lake to remain
open throughout the cold winter months. Bring along your binoculars to view the multitude of
birds that use the Pepin Valley as a migration corridor.
