Welcome To Plainview, Minnesota!
You'll never be far from some of the most breathtaking scenery in southeastern Minnesota when you visit Plainview! This small town-uniquely situated where rolling prairie meets the hardwood forest is anything but ordinary! Plainview is twenty minutes from everywhere! The Mississippi River lies fourteen miles east of Plainview while the Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood Forest - which encompasses tens of thousands of acres of reclaimed wetlands, bluffs and valleys - is less than five miles from Plainview's city limits. With the Zumbro and Whitewater Rivers flowing through the Forest, the surrounding public parks offer visiters to the region unparalleled recreational opportunities.
