 Little more than a stones-throw apart, Wabasha and Kellogg are two of the oldest towns on the upper Mississippi. Wabasha was populated in 1826, and Kellogg shortly thereafter. Because of their history and close proximity to the Mississippi River, these communities offer a variety of activities including boating, sailing, golf, downhill skiing, and miles of hiking trails with some of the most incredible birding in the country.
Eagles gather in numbers during the winter months and nest in the charming town year round. The National Eagle Center houses five live eagles, (Angel, Harriet, Columbia, Donald & Was’aka). Many visitors travel to Wabasha-Kellogg to have a “Nose to Beak” experience with America’s National Symbol of Freedom – The American Bald Eagle.
Enjoy the local ecosystem by staying at Turning Waters Bed, Breakfast & Adventure. Their staff will take you on guided tours of the backwaters of the Mississippi River, or trails in our bluffs. Or, take a riverboat dinner cruise on The Pearl of the Lake. More attractions for visitors or groups include the Small Town Inspirations Museum located in the Historic Anderson House.
Fun, unique, and cultural, all describe what you will experience while shopping and visiting LARK Carousel & Antique Toy Museum, SVJ Designs, and Loon Lake Decoy Company.
Consider experiencing some local entertainment during your stay, such as Riverfront Horse-drawn Wagon and Carriage Rides, or
free Concerts Under the Bridge in downtown Wabasha on Friday evenings from mid-June to
late August. The Broadway Theater will also be busy once a month with Moonshine Showcase's White Lightning Tour.
A variety of uniquely appealing restaurants offer an amazingly diverse menu. Slippery's Bar and Grill offers riverfront dining along with its Grumpy Old Men fame. Riverboat Lanes offers a sports bar atmosphere, fresh
homemade pizza and Thunder Alley Bowling. The Fresh Wok offers Chinese cuisine. Experience old fashioned gourmet chocolates at The Chocolate Escape. Other popular restaurants include T-Bone's Grill & Bar, Stacy's Kitchen, The Olde Triangle Pub, Dairy Queen,
