Local Lifestyle

Expect a lifestyle that is welcoming and oriented around community and environment. Residents appreciate the scenery, the smaller scale towns, and the fact that you’re not too far from larger city amenities when you want them. The population is aging somewhat, reflecting an established regional character.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Goodhue centers on scenic towns like Red Wing, where you’ll find riverfront restaurants, cozy cafés, antique stores, galleries, and locally owned shops (the pottery and shoe history give Red Wing a fun tourist vibe). Dining tends toward comfort food, local taverns and a handful of acclaimed seasonal restaurants.

Things You Can Do

Great River Bluff views, Barn Bluff hikes, river cruises and historic downtown strolls are highlights. There are wineries, state parks, and seasonal festivals — plus antique and specialty shopping that make for a nice weekend itinerary.
