Why go

Boom Island Park has more space for a pause than the compact central riverfront stops. Its paths, river edge and skyline outlook reward a relaxed visit, while a pedestrian bridge links it to Nicollet Island for a longer walk along the east bank.

What to look for

Follow the riverfront path for a downtown skyline view across the Mississippi.

Useful to know

Allow about 50 minutes for the lighthouse, skyline view and riverfront path.
Use the pedestrian bridge to connect this park with Nicollet Island Park.
