Southern Region

The Mississippi and Minnesota rivers and many small, quiet streams wind through scenic valleys among wooded bluffs. The spirit and traditions of the Dakota Indians and early pioneers are honored at historic sites, and the communities here are noted for their antique shops, historic architecture, ethnic festivals and bike trails.
