The breeze is turning crisp, the leaves are falling like rain, and the numbers on the forecast keep getting lower and lower. The Minnesota Cold is upon us. But don’t fret, there’s still time to enjoy Winona’s spectacular autumn scenery and activities
- Hike
Hiking is Winona’s favorite pastime. From Sugar Loaf to Garvin Heights to the number of bike trails, you’re sure to love the crisp air and rainbow of leaves. - Enjoy the Lake
There’s still time to get out on the lake and learn how to paddleboard, canoe or kayak. Grab your windbreaker and enjoy the view. - Go for a Bike Ride
There’s nothing like a good bike ride around Winona. Whether through the little town streets or along the river, it’s always good to appreciate the charm of Winona from the seat of a bicycle. Go rent a tandem bike from the Student Resource Center and spend quality time with a friend! - Go to a Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard
Pumpkin patches and apple orchards are perfect activities for roommates, friends or couples. Get into the autumn spirit and bake some fall treats! - Grill Out
There’s nothing better than a burger straight off the grill. Get your cornhole bean bag set out of the garage and enjoy a meal and games with your friends.
