Lake Pepin Named "Prettiest Lake in Minnesota"
In this land of 10,000 Lakes, Readers Digest chose our own Lake Pepin as the ‘Prettiest Lake’ in Minnesota!
“Minnesota is nicknamed the land of 10,000 lakes, and it’s easy to see why. This Upper Midwest dream destination actually contains more than 12,000 lakes, but who’s counting? Interestingly, our pick for Minnesota’s prettiest lake is Lake Pepin, the widest natural part of the Mississippi River. This large body of water, some 20-plus miles long and almost three miles wide, actually forms the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Think: verdant bluffs that kiss the water’s edge, cliff faces that jut out of the otherwise rolling hills, and charming river towns that dot the edges of this outdoor paradise. Waterskiing was invented in Lake City, one of the many municipalities that call Lake Pepin home, and fishing, boating, windsurfing, sailing, swimming, kayaking, and more can be enjoyed within its massive beauty.”

Rethos Downtown Assessment
Through a grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, the Lake City Chamber of Commerce welcomed Rethos to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Downtown Lake City in 2022. After spending multiple days in the community conducting resident interviews and holding stakeholder focus groups, as well as garnering survey responses from over 600 residents, Rethos staff analyzed the data they collected. The document resulting from this analysis, as well as the raw survey results data, are now published and available for all to view.
The Assessment document identifies Lake City’s assets and challenges and provides a roadmap to future Main Street vitality and success. The Chamber is working with community stakeholders, including the City of Lake City and Lake City Port Authority, to create an action plan to implement recommendations and maximize the opportunities for Lake City’s downtown. Follow along with all three entities as updates on their progress towards these goals are provided!
