Small riverfront park on the Mississippi offering open views of the river, passing barges, shoreline, and seasonal foliage. Easy-access paths and a riverside overlook make it ideal for golden-hour landscapes, long exposures of water, and candid shots of boat traffic. Free public parking at 200 Monroe St; no entry fee. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and reflections; spring and fall add migrating birds and color. Weekday mornings are least crowded.
