He Mni Can/Barn Bluff Plaza

He Mni Can-Barn Bluff is one of the best-known natural features along the upper Mississippi River. Stairs and paths lead up the bluff for the best views of the area. It is significant for its geology and its association with prehistoric and native peoples, as well as the exploration of the upper Mississippi region of the early nineteenth century. From the mid-nineteenth century to the present, it has been a location for travel, industry, tourism, and recreation. A many-layered interpretation of the feature is evident in local legend, as well as in published historical and scientific accounts, works of art, and photography.

Not walkable but worth the drive! Entrance off of East Fifth Street.
