State Park: Bike, Birding, Camp, Fish, Hike, Picnic, Walk, Water Sports
Located on the Mississippi River, Frontenac is a birdwatcher’s paradise. It’s one of the best spots in the country to view birds migrating in the spring and fall. More than 260 species of birds have been recorded here. No wonder: Lake Pepin’s diverse habitats — bluffland, prairie, floodplain forest and upland hardwood forest — attract numerous warblers, hawks, waterfowl and shorebirds. Hikers and skiers enjoy spectacular views of this beautifully wooded river valley. Fishing, swimming and boat tours are all available nearby.
