Minnesota State Highway 124 was a state highway running along Lake Avenue in Paynesville between Highways 4 / 55 and Highway 23.
Up to Highway 23, Lake Avenue was the original routing of Highways 4 and 55 through Paynesville until 1953 when a new alignment was built, bypassing the main part of town to the south.[2] At that time, Highway 55 was routed on the new alignment, while Highway 4 remained on the existing alignment through town. In 1961, Highway 4 was switched to run concurrently with Highway 55, and the stretch of Lake Avenue that was formerly Highway 4 became Highway 124.
Highway 124 remained part of the state highway system until 2002, when it was turned back to Stearns County as an extension of CSAH 66.
