In 1686, French explorer Nicholas Perrot established Fort St. Antoine on the shores of Lake Pepin, an expansive stretch of the Mississippi River. Intended as a fortified trading post, the fort helped forge alliances and expand the French fur trade with the Dakota and other local tribes. On May 8, 1689, Perrot held a ceremony at the fort to formally claim the entire Upper Mississippi Valley for France. However, due to conflict in the region and the fort’s crude construction, it was abandoned around 1690. No physical trace of the fort remains today, but its location is commemorated by Wisconsin State Historical Marker 22 along the Great River Road, overlooking scenic Lake Pepin.

Nice place to see the river, playground, picnic area, benches along the shore line. I have peddled it several times, but it's not very good for that, small trails and a lot of people walking 2 by 2 that don't hear that you want to go past them.

Menu looks interesting, the building didn't look super friendly in the winter

Red Wing Arts - a gallery and store in an old depot

Nice parking lot and access to the trail. During the summer has a porta potty too. (Didn't today for some reason)

Great beer and pizza, nice stop at the end of the trail before turning to head back to Welch or Cannon Falls.

Bay Point Park in Red Wing is a well equipped riverside park that also plays host to a number of community events. There's also a boat launch, picnic tables, playground, and volleyball court.

A few plaques old and new and a beautiful view of Lake Pepin. No picnic tables or other facilities.
