Mississippi Gorge Regional Park

Keep it natural! Stay on the trails. Enjoy the only true gorge on the Mississippi River. There are cliffs and hills on other parts of the river...but no other gorge. REMOVE THE LOCKS AND DAMS on the upper River. This would create seven miles of whitewater rafting and incredible scenery between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul.

Nice place. Bike and walk trails. Road is limited to 20mph, but not followed much. Saw many motorcycles going 40+ and passing. Highly recommend staying off road unless driving. Some homeless, but they did not seem to be an issue.

Very beautiful and peaceful park between Minneapolis and St. Paul. This was our first visit, and we were very impressed by the fall colors. Highly recommended.
