Nestled in the blufflands of southeastern Minnesota near Lanesboro, Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center is where outdoor learning and adventure come together. Surrounded by forests, prairie, limestone valleys, and the Root River, our campus offers hands-on experiences that help people of all ages connect with nature and one another.

Shaped by the Driftless Area

Eagle Bluff is located within the unique landscape of southeastern Minnesota’s Blufflands and the greater Driftless Area region—an area known for its dramatic bluffs, spring-fed streams, hardwood forests, caves, and rugged river valleys.

This remarkable geography creates an outdoor learning environment unlike anywhere else in Minnesota. From rare Black Oak Sand Barrens Prairie ecosystems to towering hardwood forests and limestone river valleys, Eagle Bluff’s campus offers countless opportunities for exploration, discovery, and stewardship.
