Review:

The Mississippi National River and Recreation Area has a misssion to preserve and demonstrate the natural and population history of the river. This seventy-two mile corridor of the Mississippi passes through St. Paul and has two visitor centers in the St. Paul area.

The visitor centers are staffed by rangers and present a wide variety of exhibits related to the Mississippi, past and present. The park is an ideal destination for fishing, boating, camping in the summer, and ice fishing in the winter. Bird watching, hiking, and cycling along the banks of the river are popular activities for locals and tourists.
