Small riverside park on the Mississippi commemorating the 1814 battle; shoot river panoramas, historic markers, prairie grasses and migrating waterfowl. Best at golden hour for warm side-light on interpretive monuments and low reflections on the river. Easy street parking on Island Ave, no entry fee, short accessible paths and picnic areas; expect seasonal mosquitoes in summer. Weekday mornings are quieter; spring and fall offer peak bird activity.
