Great River Bluffs State Park

Great River Bluffs is a good overall Minnesota state park. Definitely not one of the best state parks I've been to in the state, but far from the worst state parks. The hiking trails along the bluffs are a great hike and have some good views of the Mississippi River Valley below. None of the trails I hiked were difficult at all. The couple outlooks from the main parking lot offer good views and are easily accessible. They have good camping sites and well maintained facilities. The park isn't huge, and besides the outlooks overlooking the river, not much else is too noteworthy. Dog-friendliness: It is dog friendly if they are on a leash

The views are absolutely beautiful! The paths are clearly marked and easy to traverse. We will definitely be coming back during other seasons to see the difference.

We took a day trip here while visiting the La Crosse area and the views were breathtaking. The trails were easy to navigate and brought you to some incredible lookouts. There were plenty of picnic tables under the shade for lunch after our hike. Dog-friendliness: Easy terrain and plenty of shade to bring your pup. Picnic area: Nice shady picnic area.
