Take in views of the St.Croix river next to historic downtown Stillwater. The Lift Bridge has an interesting history, and was closed in 2017. This fall 2019, the bridge will open again as walking/biking path. It will complete a 4.7 mile loop trail that crosses the river into Wisconsin, follows alongside the river, and then back over to Stillwater. https://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/liftbridge/
This is one of our favorite places! The fall colors will be amazing. We like to bring Fred, take walks on the many trails, and eat at the outdoor patio at Sea Salt restaurant. Description: "One of Minneapolis' oldest and most popular parks features a majestic 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs, and river overlooks."
