a bit of a drive, but it is a great drive. In winter you will spy many eagles on your drive up. In summer you will enjoy Lake City on your way, there are some fun places to have lunch or dinner in Lake City, right on Lake Pepin. The eagle center is a neat experience. Go during a feeding time, I believe 11am and 3pm, check their website.
