Lake City Sailing

When sailing Lake Pepin, not only are you experiencing being at one with sea and wind, but you are also taking part in history.

Mark Twain piloted paddle wheel steamboats and wrote about his experiences in his book, Life on the Mississippi. Paddle boats can be seen weekly on Lake Pepin sailing charters during our sailing season.

Mississippi bluff country, also know as the Driftless Area, has it’s geological history rooted in post-glacial meltwaters. As the glaciers retreated north, vast amounts of water flowed south, carving the tremendous bluffs and valleys seen today.

Maiden Rock bluff has it’s own unique history, harkening back to Native American folklore. A young woman chose to leap from the bluff rather than marry a man she did not love.

Bald eagles, once at the brink of extinction in the lower 48 states, are now a common sight on Lake Pepin and one of the great success stories of modern conservation. You might even see one grab a fish if you’re lucky!

You’ll experience all this and more when you set sail on beautiful Lake Pepin with Lake City Sailing LLC.
