The lovely design of the park creates several prime spots for photography such that on any given weekend, you will often see photos shoots in progress there for weddings and proms. It is also not unusual to see political protesters planted near the monument as you drive by on Main Street. The site also includes a USPS Collection Station as the park is located directly across from the post office. ~The Nosy Norwegian Sniffing out park flowers and good deals so that you don't have to.

As we were talking in the stunning fall colors on our scenic drive down Wisconsin's Great River Road National Scenic Byway, we found this beautiful park hidden in a neighborhood in Prescott.

This is a small neighborhood waterway behind the Park Place development. It has been here for about…read more24 years. It has nice paved trails to bike, walk or walk your dog. It isn't too large. Recently they are adding a new development behind the waterway and they decided to extend Spruce Street right through the waterway. We are told that the area taken away will be replaced and extended out further. I have not seen a plan of the new proposal. They are working on the Spruce St extension now, it should be complete soon. I am hoping the trails will extend further. There is already swamp area and a couple small lakes where people spend time fishing. If you see a small trail that goes off of the paved path, it is likely to a fishing spot. There are fish in the larger lakes and other wildlife. It is planted with prairie grasses and flowers. If you see me and my Puggle running around (by running, I mean out sniffing every tree) be sure to say HI. Enjoy the photos that I have taken over the years. It has a loop that is plowed in the winter also with ice fishing on the lakes. This is a city park with a picnic gazebo and a softball field and playground equipment in a small park across 12th street from this waterway. Enjoy!

They finally got all the big cracks filled (they were pretty large holes in the ground, easy to twist an ankle). I do notice many people walking their dogs without leashes back here, which is not only specifically posted you shouldn't do, but I've had multiple dogs run up to mine, who's quite leash aggressive, and almost created incidents. Also, there are a few places where I've personally seen and smelled kids smoking weed within the woody areas of the path.

I have been here a few times, if the water levels are high, this area will likely be flooded out. I have been here when it is nice and here when it is flooded.

Enjoy the 2 photos i took from the south side and the older pictures are from the North side of the river to include when it was flooded. Enjoy.

(Otis Redding)…read more If you've got time to waste, I can think of no better place to fritter it away than at this scenic, activity-filled park. Bay Point and Ole Miss Marina are located along the banks of the Mississippi, where one can listen to trains roaring through town while taking in gorgeous views of the city, Barn Bluff, barges floating down the river, and perhaps even the Pearl of the Lake replica of an 1800's paddleboat. Viewing the Boat House Village to the side of the park is a unique experience, as this is one of only a few remaining gin-pole installations in existence. Note the forty-ft-tall poles which hold the houses in places as the river rises and falls. Dig into a potluck feast with your family in one of the park's covered picnic pavilions. Aunt Jenny's tater-tot hotdish disappears quickly, so don't dilly-dally queueing up! Burn off those chocolate revel bars afterwards by taking a few laps around the park, while kids hang out upside-down on the playground. For visiting fishermen, Bay Point is one of the two main boat launches in town (the other located at Colvill Park). There is ample parking nearby for trucks with boat trailers, and bathrooms for breaks in between catching lunkers. Overall, this park is the perfect place to park yourself whether you're a fisherman, walker, eagle enthusiast, dog, or kiddo...or you're just looking to waste some time! I give it 5 tugs on the steam whistle!
