Raspberry Island

A sweet hidden patch below the Wabasha Bridge and was on original Saint Paul Maps in 1851. There are cool steps coming down from the Wabasha Bridge to the park area or there's a cute bridge coming from Harriet Island (which isn't a island). The island also contains the St Paul Rowing Club (since 1885). There are nice paths and open park area and a bandshell on this little hidden gem. Spectacular views of downtown St Paul, the train lift bridge and of the Mississippi River traffic. The island was known as Navy Island from the late 40s until 1995.
