A small park high on the river bluff overlooking the river , railroad, and the city . One can almost feel like one is going back in time if you let your imagination erase the present and see the area of 150 year back to time of the first river travelers to the area. A quiet break for the busy... More

I have gone to this park many times over the years. It is one of the few burial mounds sites that is marked and identified as such.

The 6 indian burial mounds that have been preserved are located along the bluffs, they are fenced off but the walking trails are located very close to them.
