This is an amazing place - every time you go (whether you're an adult or child), there's something new going on. First off - the park offers lots of events - snow showing in the winter, bird watching and bird banding. Check out the website/newsletter to find out when the next event is taking place. There are many trails and paths that walk along the river. Fortunately, there are benches along the path - when you see something beautiful, you can sit, pause, and enjoy the view.

What man has not driven past a one of these big machines and said, "Wouldn't that be fun to drive one of those?" Extreme Sandbox provides the environment, the heavy machinery and instruction to have a great time and tick that item off the Bucket List! Fun to do and fun to watch!

Great views of the Mississippi River and nice biking especially north near Schaar's Bluff and beyond. Nice fall colors. Alternatively you can head south of the Park Reserve and find the trail that takes you down to Lock and Dam Number 2.

Located near St. Paul, this 1,700 acre-park offers camping, hiking, biking, swimming and cross-country skiing.
Finally got to hike Afton. The park is on the river. There is a nice flat trail you can walk that is about 1.5 miles one way. There are a lot of other trails with lots of diversity. You can climb up hills. Go through prairie grass and walk through pine trees. This is a strenuous hike so be prepared. There are picnic tables too. We went in November and there were a lot of people so I’m assuming this park is really busy in the summer. The views on top of the hill are beautiful.

We had a marvelous time with a wine tasting and some deli goodies to spend the better part of a snowy afternoon in a cozy spot. Always worth the trip, this place just gets better and better.

A nice walk downtown and visit shops along the way. Many walk and bike baths along the river. And easy parking.
