Indian Heights Park — Attraction in Rochester

Indian Heights Park is historically a sacred site for the Native American Dakota tribe. It is the Zumbro River Valley's highest point that faces the rising Sun. The city of Rochester's Parks and Recreation Master Plan for Indian Heights Park is to restore it to a pre-European state. The Friends of Indian Heights have diligently cleared out invasive non-native undergrowth so that visitors are greeted with a stunning view of a naturally forested hillside. Further along the 1-mile loop trail the look is more wild and included fallen trees across our path. Indian Heights Park is an unexpected preserve of rest and beauty within a city neighborhood.

Has nice trail that leads to a very beautiful overlook of the outer parts of older Rochester. It's a little bit of a steep climb at first so warning to anyone who has a hard time physically. Not an easy trail right at the start. But once you reach the top it's all easy level ground and nice abundant trees and nature all...

Pleasant trails within town limits. There are several high spots that provide a great view of the town. Plenty of deer, grey squirrels, cardinals and blue Jays amongst other fauna to be seen. Great for a short hike or to find a spot to get away for a bit. Decent parking lot and trails...
