Nestled on the western edge of Wisconsin lies New Richmond, just 29 miles NE of St. Paul, Minnesota. The city is conveniently located inside the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. With incredible local breweries and activities for the entire family, here are some of our favorite spots to stop in New Richmond.
- Grab a drink downtown on the largest rooftop bar in Western Wisconsin at Champ’s Bar and Grill.
- Keep the drinks flowing at the second distillery to be established in the state, 45th Parallel. Take the tour and see every piece of the process.
- Spend a weekend in the Summer watching races on one of the only dirt tracks in Wisconsin, at Cedar Lake Speedway.
- Meet up with Mike Deneen, one of the best kayak guides you’ll find, with Willow River Kayaks and take your time paddling down the serene Willow River.
- And on the right weekend in the Summer, you can kayak right up to Mary Park and see the annual Park Art Fair.
