About this site
This 10 acre prairie was planted in 2020 at the beginning of a 3 year drought. The prairie is still in its early stages and has a weedy look. It is being managed with mowing and prescribed fire. As the site matures it will provide a location for nature study by Mississippi Gateway Interpretive Programs.
About Three Rivers Park District
Three Rivers Park District is a park system in the west suburban Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area of Minnesota. We manage almost 27,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails, and special-use facilities. The name "Three Rivers" comes from our parks' geography, situated within the watersheds that flow into three significant rivers to this region: the Mississippi, the Minnesota and the Crow.
With facilities for every season, including picnicking, swimming, play areas, boating, fishing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, golfing, camping and sledding, Three Rivers Parks is the place for recreation, play and relaxation. We have developed an extensive trail system for hiking, biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We also offer program sites for nature, recreation, historic and farm education. The Park District serves more than 14.3 million visitors annually.
