Harriet Island-Padelford Landing Trail

Dogs Leashed

Features Birding · River/Creek · Views

From the time you park your car in the Padelford Landing parking lot, you are on a well-maintained paved trail. Within a short distance, you leave the city environment behind and are surrounded by trees, shrubs and wildflowers.

The Mississippi River is just a little ways off the trail. It is so close that you can see the riverboats pass by. Alongside the running trail is a dedicated bike trail; there are some sections where both runners and bikers share the same trail, but those spots are generally marked. The trail is easy enough for all ages and fitness levels to enjoy.
