Small riverside park on the Mississippi with sweeping views of the river, bluffs, memorials and mature trees — great for landscape and waterscape shots. Golden hour and blue hour bring warm light on the bluffs and soft reflections on the river; fall foliage is especially photogenic. Easy street parking on W 4th St and level paths make most viewpoints accessible; no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quieter; expect more visitors on summer weekends.
