Mill Ruins Park

Mill Ruins Park opened its doors to the public in 2001. Here, visitors can learn about the city's flour production and water power-run industry. Once you're done with your history lesson for the day, take a serene walk on the park's winding trails or enjoy a nice, leisurely lunch at the sprawling picnic area. Or, you can simply unwind, relax, and take in the beautiful views of the Mississippi River and the downtown Minneapolis skyline.
