Red Wing is known for its beautiful bluffs, outdoor activities, historic sites, world famous boots and pottery manufacturers. Mid October is a popular time for viewing stunning fall colors around Red Wing, so we recommend securing lodging early. You can find information on the city and activities here: redwing.org.
