Highland Park sits on a bluff above the Mississippi River, offering sweeping panoramas of the river, downtown La Crosse and seasonal foliage. Best at golden hour for warm side-light on the river and at blue hour for city lights. Easily accessible by car with nearby parking on Highland St; short walks to overlooks and trails. No entry fee; busy during summer events and weekends. Great for landscape, waterscape and sunrise/sunset shots.
