Friedrich Siefferman: Great place to walk.Recommended activities Running, Biking, Walking Parking space Plenty of parking Parking options Free parking lot …

Trypp Adams: I hiked the total 5.4 miles out along the river where I could and stayed on the river road walking path coming back. There is a small parking lot at the south end of the trail, but plenty of parking on the residential streets nearby. You can make the trail as short or as long as you like as there are multiple on/off trails. The trail isn't far from the river road trail on the southern end but you feel far more removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would be great in the fall!Dog-friendliness: Dogs on leash allowed

Father Hennepin Bluff Park: what do users think?

Brian Wene: The events occurring here are consistently of very high value. I've watched films on the giant screen set up & have seen incredible talent showing their artistic greatness to eager crowds. Festivals are common during warmer times & good fun is had by all especially on warmer days.Restrooms: There are Men's & Women's restroom.Dog-friendliness: The park is a dog-friendly location.Picnic area: There are picnic areas.

Sadie Christensen: It was nice but really busy for my liking. But don’t get me wrong it was clean and well kept and nothing bad to say about the park itself. You will need to pay for parking which is fine for me but know they charge by the hour. It was worth checking out once for sure. But I like quieter parks to escape the city life. They even have paths for bikes and paths for walking.

Arunava Banerjee: Serene and calm!

george moeller: Nice bike paths.

Ana Cabrera: Great place to feel like an explorer.

jason williams: Love it

Grant Globus: PLEASE DONT LITTER

Richard Aizpuru: Jerk Station Rotisserie Chicken is a superb addition to food choices at the newly renovated park. Dave the owner and chef prepares an incredible jerk beef, chicken, lamb or tofu kebab, pita, or salad . I had the pita jerk beef : really fresh ingredients : great sweet pickle, hot peppers, tomatoes, onions and secret sauce.Jerk Station is a great destination walk from the Mill Museum as it is right at the end of the Stone Arch Bridge. Excellent fresh baked goods too!!Nice selection of beverages .

abellenin1: Beautiful park to walk and enjoy the weekend

Kennedy Kell: The lower trail is one of my favorite place to go in Minneapolis! It’s changed a bit since I was younger and made a bit ‘safer’ but still a fun place!

Elizabeth Lindig: Great trails, clean.

Mill Ruins Park: what do users think?

Nick DiColandrea: Wonderful views! It’s under construction right now but still very cool!

Drew King: beautiful views of the city and of historic landmarks.

Calvin Johnson 3: I love, beautiful views of the city

Akshaya Bhagavathula: During a recent exploration of Minneapolis's rich historical landscape, I visited Mill Ruins Park, a site that beautifully intertwines the city’s industrial past with its vibrant present. Nestled along the Mississippi River, this park offers a unique glimpse into the 19th-century mills that once were the heartbeat of Minneapolis.The park is a fascinating mix of historical ruins and modern architecture, where weathered stone walls and remnants of old mills stand against a backdrop of the city skyline. Walking through Mill Ruins Park, I felt as though I was stepping back in time. Informational plaques scattered throughout the area provide a wealth of knowledge about the flour mills that once dominated the area and played a pivotal role in the city's development.One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to walk along the river and enjoy the scenic views of St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. The sound of rushing water and the sight of the falls added a dynamic element to the tranquil historical exploration. It’s a photographer’s delight and a perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy a bit of nature in the urban setting.The park is very accessible, with well-maintained pathways that make it easy to explore the ruins and riverfront. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or simply looking for a picturesque place to unwind, Mill Ruins Park offers something for everyone. The blend of history, nature, and urban scenery makes it a must-visit location in Minneapolis.My visit to Mill Ruins Park was not only educational but also incredibly inspiring. It provided a profound sense of connection to the city's past, making it one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Minneapolis.

Robertson Souza: Nice place.Dog-friendliness: Dog-friendless are...

John Swanke: A must do place for beautiful pictures of the city, especially at night with the skyscrapers lit up...

Boom Island Park: what do users think?

Linda Novitt: Beautiful place so close to downtown

Sarah Survance: Very pretty park with a view of the skyline. In the springtime, there are lots of flowering trees which makes this an especially nice place to walk or picnic.

Vennamaneni Arpitha: Park with downtown views, picnic spot in downtownPlayground: Has play area for kids.Picnic area: Picnic spot in downtown, has good walking and cycling trails.

Akshaya Bhagavathula: As I explored the park, I was impressed by its well-kept facilities and variety of recreational options. The park features a boat dock, which makes it a popular launching point for boating and kayaking. Watching boats glide by on the river was a peaceful way to spend the afternoon, and the gentle sounds of the water added to the serene atmosphere.For those who prefer staying on land, the walking and biking trails are excellent for getting some exercise while enjoying the scenery. I took a leisurely walk along the trails and found several quiet spots perfect for sitting and enjoying the view, or even cracking open a book.One of the highlights of my visit was the picnic area, where I enjoyed a relaxed meal with a view. The picnic facilities are well-maintained, making it easy to spend several hours at the park without needing to leave for food or other necessities.Overall, Boom Island Park struck me as a fantastic spot for families, couples, or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without actually leaving it. Its combination of natural beauty, recreational facilities, and stunning views makes it a must-visit park in Minneapolis. Whether you're looking for an active day out or a tranquil place to unwind, Boom Island Park offers something for everyone.

Olivia Gorial: I ran the Hot Chocolate 15k which started and finished at the Park. It was 9.3 miles in the Mills District area. Just a beautiful run along the river! What struck me the most was no trash in the streets or on the course. Even the runners here are mindful and polite. The best part was catching photos of the waterfalls and all the bridges. Seeing people out with their family and dogs was so refreshing too!

Corey Chapman: Nice Park with great views of downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River.

Molly Evans: What a beautiful day for a walk and what a beautiful path around the lake! The only downfall was that there were porta potties only on one side of the lake, So when we had to go to the bathroom, we had to walk halfway around the lake to get to the bathroom. I am sure as the weather warms up that they'll open the other restrooms as well but in the meantime plan ahead!Restrooms: Only one set up bathrooms on one side of the lake and it's the opposite side of the lake as the main entrance.

Lorri Daniels: It's a park.

Sebastian Witzany: , easy to find, caribou coffee shop walking distance from the plunge site^¥^

Shadow Falls Park: what do users think?

Bug Folk: This is a fun place to hike. There's a long trail that will take you near the Marshall Ave Bridge on one side and the other side leads to the waterfall. Though my pictures are from spring, my favorite time to visit this place is in the fall. It looks magical almost with bright golden oaks and maples, red and dappled orange, lots of fall colors. There are rock ledges to look over the river, that is if they aren't already occupied.One thing I don't like is the graffiti on the waterfall at the moment of this review.

T: The paved trails at street level are nice, but when it's wet out you need to prepare for mud if you want a close look at Shadow Falls. There's a bit of parking and an overlook/monument along the road.

Mikaela G: Beautiful clean park with excellent views

k nels: Beautiful views from above, amazing down in the creek valley. A gentle sloped dirt path starts the "point" at east end. Then paths around the falls get steep and can be muddy, difficult. Also steeper paths down from Summit Overlook area.I've enjoyed the creek valley and creek outlook to river even more than the falls

Jennifer Everly: Dog-friendliness: Lots of dog enjoying the hills, splashing in the water

Max Andresen: that leads into the Mississippi, and a cool viewing place for the river and Minneapolis.Picnic area: Nice grassy area between garden and WW1 memorial
