- Historic Winona: A Minnesota Mississippi River Adventure
Hop on board for a thrilling ride through time and nature as we explore the charming town of Winona, Minnesota, nestled along the mighty Mississippi River! 🚴♂️💨
Our Journey Begins...
I kick off our adventure by crossing the bridge to Wisconsin, A quick stop at Fountain City gives us a taste of small-town charm before we cruise into the local marina. Boats gently bob in the water, hinting at the aquatic adventures that await!
Locks, Dams, and River Lore
I visit the impressive Mississippi Lock and Dam 5A on the Wisconsin side. Marvel at this feat of engineering that helps tame the mighty Mississippi. Can you imagine the countless vessels that have passed through here?
Step Back in Time
Back in Winona, I dive into history at the local museum. Prepare to be amazed by:
Fascinating artifacts that tell tales of river life
The story of the towering bluffs that watch over the town
Dramatic accounts of major floods that have shaped Winona's history
Camping On The River
I ride my bikes zipping along trails into town. Watch in awe as enormous barges navigate the river, a testament to the Mississippi's vital role in commerce.
Bridges, Parks, and River Views
My journey wraps up with stunning views of Winona's bridges spanning the mighty Mississippi and peaceful moments in the town's verdant parks. It's the perfect end to our river road trip through history.
So grab your virtual helmet, and let's pedal through time along the banks of the Mississippi! From river lore to small-town charm, this video has it all. Don't miss this chance to experience the heart of America from a unique perspective. Like, subscribe, and get ready for your next armchair adventure!

Wish we knew you were here in Winona we would have loved to have you over 🥰
Wow that's awesome Museum its cool
You said that you don't see trees in the middle of the street out west but yes you do see them in eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls 25th street
🤠👍 Hey Russ ❤ Minnesota and Wisconsin!
Cool to see RVerTV in Minnesota! Hope you enjoyed your time here!
Hello from Minnesota! Love your show!
Welcome to the great State of Minnesota! E-bike is a awesome addition to your videos. Thanks Russ. I'll see what I can do to get those trees trim for you so you can get better views of the river.😀
I love your channel between you and Brenton on his shanty boat, I am enjoying places I will never get to see in person. Thank you very much.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing, very interesting
Glad you could check out wonderful Winona! My Mom was born there, and my family lived there for many years, and have multiple generations buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, a really beautiful place, and we go there at least once a year, the drive along the Mississippi is fantastic, and I love the bluffs, thanks for the great video!
When you get down around Davenport, Iowa or Rock Island, Illinois try to check out Arsenal Island! Military museum there.
Very beautiful area. Guess its still too early for Squirrel Nutkins &friends out and about collecting food for winter
My late dad Tom bless him in the bed of heaven . His favourite song to sing was Noreen Bawn, it's an old Irish song, line in it if I remember correctly says ... Where the Mississippi and the Missouri river flow .
You should hit up some of those old bars, great burgers and atmosphere.
Should have gotten up to Garvin Heights Park. Get a great view of the River, Winona and the surrounding area.
Love the videos. Great to see places I may never see, as one other commenter said. Thanks for taking us along.
Minnesota was great 😅so was Sturgis was awesome definitely something to see at once in a lifetime 👌🙏🏻
Thats some flat land. The fire smoke is everywhere!
Not too far from my neck of the woods , I’m northeast of Mankato Mn
We live on top of hill over looking Mississippi just north of Iowa border.
Your e-bike has added a new dimension to your travels for your viewers. Your trip to downtown Winona park couldn’t be as well accessed as by the e-bike. The flowers, water marks on the retaining walls were very visible by the bike, but missed by cars and other forms of travel except walking. I guess the larger tugboat must utilize its strength to push the grain barges very far down river. It would be interesting to see if you cross paths with the tugboat as you travel down river. Very interesting video, Russ.
Thanks for riding shot gun with you Russ, showing beautiful scenic views.
I have been watching you for a while now (Maybe a year) and just want you to know what a fantastic job you do!! It gives me ideas, and also allows me to see places that I will probably never make it to. Again, great job and thank you so much!
I’m so excited about this trip & the Route 66 trip. Love love love this. I’m so excited about the scenic Mississippi 🤗❤️
The Mississippi river starts by Niswa Minnesota. You should definitely go there, it's absolutely not what you think it will be. I've been there many times. Love your video's
There're 35,000 known museums in the USA how many has the "old RVER" been too? I think all of them!
Nice campsite❤
I'd also like to add that the next time you visit Russ you should take Highway 61 from the Twin Cities down, it's a really scenic drive!
Cool vlog Russ 😎
My college town! Nice to have you in my home state!! It’s Wih-no-nah, not Wynonna. 😉
I love those locks and museums!
the soap box derby is still held every year at Derby Downs in Akron Ohio
Hey Russ , I enjoyed your Sturgis videos . Looking forward to the route 66 videos
Hi Russ, Thank you Thank you so so much for a hour and a half video and you taking your time to tape. You did a great job. would be a nice place to live. wow Hour and a half so much better then 20 to 40 min. your the best
Thank you Russ! Enjoyed stop in Winona! The River is beautiful here! Liked the museum and seeing the tugs and barges! Look forward to Davenport Iowa!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
THANK YOU
I love all of your travel videos, life's a trip! ❤️
I like your channel. I have traveled #35 many times and been in Winona. #61 on the Mn. side. Years ago I lived about 30 miles from Winona. You make me wan to do this again.
This seemed like we spent a vacation with you. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing Russ.
THANKS!
You forgot about Gavin Heights,the road takes to the high point of the bluff,and little walking then you can look out on a panaramic view of Winona and possibly on a clear day see La Crosse
Kudos to your TH-cam Channel, Russ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Your e-bike is really sweet. When you drove through the river town Fountain City, I thought about when I drive on WV Route 2, through river towns Follansbee, Wellsburg, Wheeling, Sistersville. We have a lot of great history in the state of WV. I reside here in Weirton, WV, where I'm a lifelong resident. Weirton, WV is just north of Follansbee in the Northern Panhandle of WV. Route 2, runs north and south through the WV Northern Panhandle. North of Weirton, WV, is more river towns, New Cumberland, Chester, Newell, and New Manchester. As always, I wish you safe travels and I wish you the best as well. Talk soon Alan.
Love your channel
Fountain City, my hometown. Born in Winona, closest hospital 😊.
Been there done that and we’re paid by the mile
I hope it has changed
Thanks again for your beautiful museum visit
Thanks again for the tour, Russ.
Love Minnesota ❤ Great your video’s … Thank you Russ …
Once again Russ Nails it ! My cousin and I , used to camp and fish there in our teens !! LOL that was in the mid 70's . Haven't been there in a long time TY sir.nearly as exited as your WA state hwy 20 ,vids of the cascades, to Anacortes!!
Great video Russ. When you were in Prairie du Chein, WI/Marquette, IA a couple of years ago (?) you missed a place to view the great Mississippi - Mt Hosmer Park in Lansing, IA north of Marquette. Maybe you could see it this year. Don't be intimidated by the trip through a residential neighborhood to get up there; maybe that e-bike is a better solution. It's up at the top of one of those hills that are so prevalent in the area.
Great video! I was born in Winona, moved to Cochrane 7 miles north of Fountain City.
Very nice drive along the Mississippi River
The Mississsippi begins at Lake Itasca in Northern MNinnesota, There one can walk across it on small rocks. Super place r to visit! o
Mississippi starts literally as a trickle way up north in Itasca. My husband went to college in Winona, we saw nothing familiar here!
Love rvertv
We probably passed on I-90 😉. We live in Rapid City and went to Oshkosh Air Venture and back. Rapid City/Sturgis also had some very cool weather later.
Anyway this was interesting and relaxing as usual. Winona looks like a nice stopover, may do that someday. Btw wife & I think it’s a great idea to save some content for this fall and winter and also even out the editing workload. Having done a few videos at one time, it amazes me what a time suck that is. Take care and God bless
Thank You Very Much
Curious to know if "mobile home parks" allow RV'ers to park for a night, week, month? Or are mobile home parks only for long term?
Some do depending on open lots available.
Gods country!
Corn or soy beans. How many nights I spent sleeping overnight in a grain line. Never to Winona though. Grain goes south. I guarantee they don't get paid by the hour. Overnighting in a place like New Prague, there's a bar on every street. Full of Bohemians. They not only get weighed. They get sampled before they're allowed to dump.
great video, but The Maritime Museum is a must see in Winona!! the have an original painting if Washington crossing the Delaware!! !!
Hi thank you I just found the channel I like all the videos really cool 👍
Catch and Release. This great rivef is polluted
Very interesting video
THere is something similar to that structure [5-A] up near Niagara Falls...on the American-side, including fish-ladders. Nifty, to my way of thinking and viewing.
1960 Sumner county Kansas first grade , one room school. We have terminal grain elevators 1/2 mile long here in Kansas.
Hello from Minnesota ! The Mighty Mississippi River starts in Itaska start park.
Would love to see you take a trip up to the Minnesota north shore some day! Duluth to Grand Portage, now that's a drive
Soap Box Derby still in Akron every year. The 2024 Derby was in July. 😊
I would like to do that traveling again,
You said it seems busier on the Wisconsin side. That's because everyone on the Minnesota side has gone fishing!!!
Akron Ohio here and yes, the Soap Box Derby still exists and the finals were held a few weeks ago.
Going down the Illinois side of river south of Thompson Ill great place to watch Barges. Very Close to river. I used to live in Clinton IA, Now live in IA City.
I hear you talking about snow when you come to Minn. Some years we get alot but last year hardly any. It's safer driving on snow than driving on 95 from Parker to Havasu
Soapbox Derby last weekend.
We had a lot of rain this spring and summer. It doesnt flood every year. A lot of farm fields were flooded in Minn,No Dak and Iowa
You could say the wagons were delivery wagons 😂😂
When you start your tour of Route 66 will you start at Buckingham Fountain in Chicago or opt out of the congestion of the city? Looking forward to your trip! You were filming in Fountain City about 40 miles from where I live in western Wisconsin. We played the Cochran-Fountain City Pirates in high school.
Russ please ride against the traffic! People aren't paying attention and don't see bike riders. Stay safe. At least you will be able to see who is coming towards you and you can avoid an accident. Stay safe. Those bike laws were written in the 50s And people Are not paying attention when they drive. I've had 3 good friends die While riding their bikes and people running into them. All hit from behind. Stay safe Love the video!
Russ the soapbox derby is still going on in Akron Ohio. Could be a pretty to cool for school type trip.
When I began sailing on the Mighty Columbia, I got scolded for calling a "towboat" a "tugboat." In our area, the boats that push barges are towers and not tuggers. Ha!
So enjoy your channel. The only issue...perhaps you could change the descriptive word 'cool' once in a while🤣...be safe out there.
❤❤
Russ you keep forgetting your fishing pole, are developing anytimers?😂😂😂
Have you ever thought about visiting Texas? I think the videos would get a lot of views
Great videos! Like and follow your channel. Being an Ohioan, I have to tell you that they still run the SOAP BOX DERBY every year in Akron, Ohio 789 Derby Downs Dr, Akron, OH
Just sayin'
Have a great day Russ!
Headwaters start at Itasca State Park which is up by Bemidji Minnesota they do you have a live cam there
Does the Sun ever shine any more?
Too bad you didn't go to Trempealeau, WI, you can stand right where the boats go threw the lock. Almost shake hands with the people on the large boats as they go through.
You were in my backyard Russ
Two bridges and no more head on colisions
.
I hope there’s no rats in those barges.
I live in Rochester MN
You’re not worried when you go on your bike ride that somebody will steal your starlink?
👍
