Harriet Island Regional Park

Fantastic place for a festival. Really great open space plenty of room for lots of people stages music etc. St Paul and the yacht Club festival people really did a great job for setup security music and everything. I didn't even see one scuffle or any negative interaction the whole 3-day yacht Club festival weekend. The beer and food was a bit overpriced but you get that with any festival. Had a super great time and would definitely go back again.

It was a nice distance for walking and lake view. Issues come that the water is pretty polluted. Alot of trash and water around in corners. Smell of sewer or waste in the air. Great lawn space on the further end and food trucks on days.

Beautiful, not too crowded, space to walk!

Harriet Island regional park is always a great place to enjoy a relaxing stroll with the dogs. There are also many amenities available for all types of activities. They have barbecue grills, picnic tables, tons of green space to fly a kite or a game of frisbee. There is a well maintained playground for the kids too. The bike/walking trail runs through here. You can get just about anywhere in the metro on that trail. The paddleboats take off from here on wonderful river rides. They have midday rides that anyone can afford. As well as beautiful sunset rides for a romantic evening. We are all very lucky to have such a nice place right in the middle of our city.

Walking across the Wabasha Street Bridge provides beautiful views, though it can get quite hot 🫠. From this park, you can also catch a lovely glimpse of the Saint Paul cityscape.

Love walking here! Especially the day after a snowfall. The landscape and the view of downtown Saint Paul is stunning. The paths were clear for walking even in the winter. Highly recommend!!

One of the most popular area parks, Harriet Island Park is chock full of amenities, including paddle-boat tours, a marina, and a large event center. It has many nice walking paths, and great views of downtown St. Paul. Harriet Island was an actual island until the 1950’s, when the east channel was filled in for some reason.

Beautiful park on the Mississippi River. Nice walking, biking and rolling paths, picnic tables and restrooms. Great location for family events. Paddle boat rides. Bike the trail along the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers to Mendota, or loop to the South St Paul Trails.

Sometimes this is a party island. There are many events throughout the year on the island. Walking down from the business district I found, as expected, cooler temps thanks to the flowing water. The spacious island has buildings ready for different events and plenty of room for tents and bandstands. There isn't much for parking and that is a problem as you would have to research available areas allowing parking for a major event. If you should park downtown it's about a 3/4 mile walk. Other commercial locations may charge an exorbitant amount for parking. Ride share and buses will work better.
