Great Views of the Mississippi Gorge!
Spent the whole day hiking the Great River Bluffs. The trail system is very well labeled with maps along each trail. The trail system is mostly level and I would label as easy hiking with rolling hills. The park contains two viewing areas King’s and Queen’s Bluff.
The campsites are spacious, completely shaded, and have a fire pit as well as picnic tables. Since the park is in a heavily wooded area you do have to watch out for the Minnesota state bird (the mosquito).
Tips:
- Bring bug spray
- Bring binoculars; the river valley is a great viewing area for waterfowl, eagles, and hawks.
