Marina the Heron
Small riverside marina on the Mississippi offering boats, docks, strong reflections and frequent wading birds (herons). Shoot golden-hour sunsets and calm pre-dawn mist for mirror-like water; spring/fall bring migratory bird activity. Easy roadside parking; mostly public access along the riverfront but respect private slips and any posted signs. Weekday mornings are quiet. Wind can rough the surface—check forecast for smooth reflections.
