There's nothing like the feeling of freedom in traveling the wide open road. From rugged shoreline, to blooming blufftops, to rolling, rural farmland, the state of Minnesota is a brilliant palette of wilderness greens, waterway blues, crisp autumn golds and glowing Northern Lights.
Minnesota's 22 scenic byways encompass more than 2,800 miles of statewide splendor, and range in length from a short 9-mile journey to a Mississippi River route of 575 miles. Each trip offers something special, be it a taste of Main Street charm, the sound of rushing rapids, or a sense of cultural heritage.
Whether you plan a half-day excursion or a full week's adventure you're sure to discover something wild, wonderful and new. Enjoy the ride.
