Around Town

Volleyball, baseball, talking.

Hiking up the bluffs, play ultimate frisbee by the lake, bike anywhere and everywhere since downtown Winona is pretty close to campus. Also, kayak, canoe, snow shoe, skate, and much more! Take advantage of the bluffs and the Mississippi River!

If you are an outdoors-men, there are plenty of activities to do along the Mississippi River, and the lakes around campus. There are also numerous parks surrounding the campus, not to mention the downtown scene when a person is 21 is a nice way to enjoy Winona.

We enjoy hanging out as a group of friends in the lobby of our dorms and also we enjoy movies and just taknig in the sights of Winona.

Winona State offers many activities to do for fun. Some of these activities are located on and off campus. These may include, kayaking, hiking the bluffs, attending a movie, and athletic events.

go to the wellness center!

The city is quite small, but there is always something to do.

Winona is a gorgeous little town in southern Minnesota, right across the Wisconsin border. There are many outdoor options, like hiking, biking, rock climbing, swimming and kayaking. WSU UPAC (student organization), regularly offers activities and events like free or reduced bowling, reduced movies, dances, and trips to sports events and theater productions. In addition, WSU hosts a annual spring concert, where groups like Easton Corbin, Skillet, and George Watsky have performed. While Winona doesn't have a lot of chain restaurants or big movie theaters, it is located just 45 minutes east of Rochester, MN, home of Mayo Clinic. Rochester is a great option for some of those big city amenities that you may miss in Winona.

We have a movie theater downtown, but that's really it.
