November 13, 2011, Sunday - Great River Outing: Gems Along the Mississippi River Trail with the Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership

Time: 1:30pm - 3:00pm

Location: Marshall Terrace Park, 2740 Marshall Street NE

Join the Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership on a walk with park historian David Smith, Commissioner Liz Wielinski, and Marshall Terrace resident and AFCAC co-facilitator Mary Jamin Maguire to visit three riverfront park gems: Marshall Terrace, Edgewater, and Gluek Riverside.

We will follow Marshall Street, formerly the Red River Oxcart Trail, and now the multi-state Mississippi River Trail. We'll discuss the Above the Falls and the MRDI River First plans to complete a continuous riverfront park with walking/biking trails, connecting these riverfront parks.  On the route are the Lowry Bridge and the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization headquarters - both currently under construction.  We will conclude with a visit to the Sample Room for a treat and conversation.
