LeRoy is on Minnesota Highway 56, between mileposts 6 and 8. In other words it is just north of the IA-MN state line near US 63 that runs between Waterloo IA and Rochester MN. LeRoy is also 30 miles SE of Austin, MN and not far from Interstate 90 that angles between Austin and Rochester.
LeRoy is near the eastern end of the Shooting Star Scenic Byway (MN 56, milepost 0 to 31 at I90 near Austin.)
The eastern trailhead of the Shooting Star Recreational Trail is next to the high school athletic field. Right away it crosses the Upper Iowa River on the historic Chicago Great Western railroad bridge and then traverses Lake Louise State Park which has both regular camping and horse camping facilities in season. (No park fees are required for trail-only users.) Beyond that the trail mostly follows MN 56 all the way to Austin's Hormel Nature Center, a total of about 30 miles of nicely maintained blacktop with well spaced rest stops, places to eat, lots of shade and even camp sites.
In the past few years quite a few recreational visitors have shopped at the market.
As far as we know, the farthest away was from Washington, D.C.
