Tucked up against the Mississippi River this park offers a variety of outdoor recreation and leisure options. The trails invite hikers and bikers to explore while the water calls to anglers and kayakers. You'll also find plenty of picnic areas and playground for the kids, as well as a prairie enclosure for the recently re-introduced Bison population.

Lake Rebecca Overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

It'll be nice if they can smooth out this trail at some point, it's part of the BuMpY tEn MiLe LoOp around Hastings, which is a cool loop, but can be hard to follow for out of towners and it is rough. I heard they got some funding to put up better signs and stuff though.
