About Two Rivers Overlook
Two Rivers Overlook is a beautiful and peaceful spot located near Hidden Falls Regional Park, offering stunning views of where the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers meet. Visitors can see both rivers from this high vantage point, about 100 feet above the confluence, with Fort Snelling visible across the Mississippi. The area features easy parking most days and offers a river trail for walkers, along with easy beach access for kayaking and fishing. The overlook provides informative plaques explaining the history and geography of the area, though some are faded and harder to read. The setting is serene with plenty of green space, making it a great place to relax and enjoy nature, despite some noise from nearby highways. Walking paths nearby allow for combining a visit to the overlook with a stroll through Hidden Falls. Overall, it’s a scenic and historic location worth exploring for its views and tranquility.

Very windy the day I went with my partner, but we were able to walk across the bridge and even on the Snelling Path, it was a very nice and calming walk, besides the bridge, haha.

Really great! Cool metal signs, great views of Fort Snelling, MN-5's bridge, and an interesting trail below it.

Easy parking most days. Paced river trail for walkers. Easy beach access for kayaks and fishing. Some trash but not crazy amounts. Can see the wall of Fort Snelling.
