Beautiful park hugging the Mississippi River on one side, the historic Boat House Village on another and the marina at one end. The Boat House village is one of the only remaining "gin pole" installations still available, where some boat houses are over 100 years old and are registered on the historical society. Charcoal grills, ample parking, modern bathrooms and so much more. Take 3 laps around the 2/3 of a mile walking trail and you have 2 miles in. You will also enjoy the sights and sounds as you pass the young children playing on the large, multi-structure playground, families having a picnic under one of the two open shelters, boisterous talk on the sand volleyball court and the variety of boats motoring up and down the river. Or one can simple sit on one of the many park benches, picnic tables and some swinging benches lining the water and enjoy the tranquility and beauty around you. Throw off the mask, kick off your shoes and let down your hair and enjoy all that this park...

Been coming here for many years. Just a wonderful park to walk around or fish, which is what I primarily do when I'm here with my family. I love watching the sunset here they look so pretty with the reflection in the water. I love the city of Red Wing so I'm always happy when I get to come here. I always find it so peaceful and a great way to get outdoors and away from all the city commotion. I would recommend this...
