Take A Road Trip To Rushford, The Tiny Minnesota Town You’ve Never Heard Of
Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we aren’t only proud of our bodies of water. We’re also proud of the many small towns that make our state great. There are wonderful examples in every region, from Two Harbors in the northeast to Luverne in the southwest to Baudette in the northwest – to name a very few. Today, we’d like to introduce a wonderful little town in the southeastern corner of the state. Rushford, Minnesota, may be tiny, but it is full of beautiful scenery and fun attractions. Read on below to learn more about this lovely town.
Rushford, Minnesota, is a tiny town in the southwestern corner of the state. It's about 25 miles north of the Iowa border. The population of this tiny town is about 1,700 people.
Though Rushford is small, it is full of immense beauty. The town is in southeastern Minnesota's bluff country. A tall bluff looms over the own. No matter when you visit, it's an impressive sight. But covered in the green of summer, it looks like nothing else in Minnesota.
Downtown Rushford is exactly what you might expect from a town like this one. It's full of sleepy streets lined with charming buildings, some historic. This is a lovely place to take a stroll.
If you're looking for a bite to eat, check out Creamery Pizza & Ice Cream. This place serves up some of the tastiest food in town. Other great choices include Stumpy's Restaurant & Bar and Shawnee's Bar & Grill.
Other great stops include Creekside Park, Bluffview Campground, and Nordic Lanes & Lounge, a bowling alley with beach volleyball courts. There is a lot to see and do in this tiny town!
