About Preston

Tucked into the rolling hills and limestone bluffs of southeastern Minnesota, Preston is a welcoming small town that serves as the Fillmore County seat. Known locally as Minnesota's trout capital, the community sits right along the South Branch of the Root River, where world-class fly fishing and river paddling are just steps away. With the paved Blufflands State Trail passing directly through town and Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park right down the road, it is an easy place to settle into if you appreciate scenic countryside, peaceful neighborhoods, and outdoor recreation.
