Start Your Review of Lake City

Very pretty town, I moved here last year and haven’t been able to explore it to its fullest because of quarantine. It’s small and there’s not much to do, you’d have to drive 20 mins to RedWing to do anything. Most people are friendly and helpful, overall it’s pretty average, nothing to complain about and nothing to brag about.

Lake City is a beautiful small town located along the Mississippi River. Lake Pepin is my favorite part about the town. The school system offers a positive place for students to learn. Mayo Clinic and various factories offer job opportunities for many individuals. Lake City is a family oriented community that blossoms in the summer, filled with friendly tourists. Great community to learn, work and live in!
