Nicollet Island

Nicollet Island, on the Mississippi River, has a tranquil small-town vibe, with well-kept Victorian houses and waterside paths that offer views of the skyline and St. Anthony Falls Dam. Nicollet Island Park includes an amphitheater and a pavilion used for concerts. The limestone Nicollet Island Inn, a former door factory, and the huge 1941 Grain Belt Beer sign, are local landmarks.
