The History and Future of the Metro Mississippi's Dams (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Trips, Tours & Special Events -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2025

The locks and dams in the Mississippi River reflect a 19th-century, industry-focused vision for the river. Is it time to change our vision for the future? Studies are underway right now to consider changing or removing the dams. This walking tour will cover the history, current state, and complex future possibilities for our metro Mississippi. We will cover about one mile on paved paths. If possible, we'll visit the Lock and Dam 1 observation deck (elevator available). 

Tour led by Friends of the Mississippi River.

Meet at Wabun Park Picnic Area located at 4655 46th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406

If the tour is full, please add your name to the wait list. We will notify you if spots open up.
