Written Directions

The route starts in Preston, MN where Hwy 52 and MN-16 run together. Follow MN-16 through Lanesboro to Rushford, MN, where MN-16 joins MN-43.

Scenery

This route closely follows the twisty Root River through some beautiful bluff country.

Drive Enjoyment

This route has a few hills, lots of long, sweeping corners and some slightly tighter twists and turns. The pavement is in good shape for the majority of the route, with a few areas in fair shape.

Tourism Opportunities

Along this route you will find gas stations at either end, campgrounds in Lanesboro & near Preston and Rushford, Amish tours, and mini-golf. Nice stops along the way are the Lanesboro Dam, Inspiration Point, and Peterson Wayside Park.
