About Paynesville
Paynesville, in central Minnesota, has made a name for itself among young families and retirees as a great place to vacation and to live, largely due to three lakes: Rice Lake, Lake Koronis and Long Lake. Lake Koronis, the largest at more than 3,000 acres, is connected to Rice Lake by the North Fork of the Crow River and is a particularly popular vacation spot. Dozens of resorts dot the area, and recreational opportunities abound, including fishing, sailing, canoeing, hiking, and biking. The Lake Koronis Recreational Trail, a recent community project, allows more people than ever to enjoy the lake's scenic beauty. Even so, there's more to enjoy than lake recreation - a cheerful and well-maintained downtown offers antiques shops, gift stores, and plenty of dining options. And, while Paynesville residents appreciate quiet summer sunsets and serene snowy winters, they still have quick access to the hustle of the Twin Cities since Minneapolis lies just 80 miles to the southeast.
Did you know?
After years of community fund-raising and effort, a ribbon-cutting was held in 2003 for the first phase of the Lake Koronis Recreational Trail, designed to make non-motorized travel safer around the busy lake. The state legislature approved $365,000 to complete Phase II, but Governor Jesse Ventura vetoed the funding.
