Mill Ruins Park & Minneapolis Riverfront

(Filed under: Parks & Sights)

Taken last week, this shot gives you a view of the work being done on Mill Ruins Park which should be completed this fall. The work will open up the lower tailraces and let you walk among the actual mill ruins.

If you haven't been to the Minneapolis riverfront lately, it's pretty cool. As usual, there's the Stone Arch Bridge and St. Anthony Falls, which are sights worth seeing on their own. But now there's also Mill Ruins Park, which you can see in the picture. Above the park you can see the remains of an old mill which now houses the Mill City Museum. In the distance the goofy looking blue structure sticking out of West River Parkway is the new Guthrie Theater.
