Small riverside park on the Minnesota River with oak trees, bluff views, walking trails and picnic areas — good for intimate landscape and waterscape shots, seasonal color and reflections. Easy street parking at Oak Knoll Blvd, no fee. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and long shadows; fall and winter offer dramatic color and frost. Trails are short and mostly accessible; expect locals and dog walkers on weekends.
