Set in the Zumbro River watershed, the city is surrounded by the rolling farm country that characterizes this part of the state, while U.S. Highway 52 and Minnesota Highway 60 make it a practical stop between regional communities. The Douglas State Trail, following a former rail corridor between Pine Island and Rochester, brings cyclists and walkers through the local countryside. Pine Island’s Cheese Festival points to the dairy traditions that have long shaped the area.
