Peterson occupies the Root River valley in southeastern Minnesota’s Driftless Area, a region of deeply cut limestone bluffs and rolling farmland. The Root River runs through the community and anchors the Root River State Trail, a paved rail-trail following the valley through a chain of small towns. Peterson’s Norwegian-American roots remain central to its identity and are celebrated during Gammel Dag, a local gathering focused on Norwegian traditions. It is a compact stop for cycling, fishing and exploring the rural character of Fillmore County. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Root River valley.
