FALL IN LOVE WITH LANESBORO
DURING EVERY SEASON WINTER
See complete Lanesboro Event Listings on p.4-5 or Lanesboro.com
A snowy afternoon in Lanesboro is so beautiful and serene, you may think you’ve stepped into a snow globe. The unique Norwegian heritage of our area makes us experts at “Hygge” (a Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and feeling of contentment). As fields, trees and lawns go dormant, our streets see fewer visitors. The locals lovingly call it “The Quiet Season,” but that quiet provides an opportunity for unplugging and seeking out unique indoor and outdoor adventures that only winter can offer. With good snowfall, portions of the Root River State Trail are groomed for crosscountry skiing, or bring your snowshoes to hike around Sylvan Park and other nearby trails. Weekends provide time to shop and dine in downtown Lanesboro, or just kick back by the fire in your historic Bed and Breakfast.
SPRING
Home Sweet Home Café & Cakery
April’s arrival brings snow melt (or sometimes more snow), buds opening, green colors awakening, and the promise of warmth to come. Wildlife is stirring, and you are certain to enjoy the sounds of many birds returning north: you may even catch a glimpse of a newborn fawn! Lanesboro is also starting to awaken, as its retail, dining, lodging and other businesses extend their hours once again and prepare to greet another busy season with warm hospitality and excitement. Anxious anglers are ready for the trout opener in April and a chance to catch rainbow and brown trout in some of the best streams in the country. Other species in the river include smallmouth bass, sunfish, crappies, channel catfish and more. Bicyclers arrive to ride the Root River State Trail to move their legs after winter and see which early native wildflowers may be blooming. Spring here also brings the season opener for The Commonweal Theatre Company, a professional live theatre company that produces shows from May through December.
