Eagle Point Park

This is a great park, but I didn't see any reviews that indicated the changes in the winter. Google maps navigated me down to the locks and said I could walk up to Eagle Point. Once I arrived, I could tell that certainly wasn't going to happen, and I had to use the satellite view to figure out how to get myself to the real park. Once I arrived there, I found the gates were locked, apparently they do this in the winter. There is no parking where they lock the gate at the bottom, but using Google satellite view again, I was able to find another parking area further to the North next to a residential area. My guess is the "residents" don't like the traffic and have moved the pin to make it more difficult for citizens to visit. I can't say I blame them. But the park is very beautiful and worth a walk-around in the winter, with good views down to the Mississippi, locks, and boat/train traffic. I hope I can come back in the spring to see this when it is truly alive again.

I came with a bunch of friends for a walk the first week of December, so you know it was super chilly out there! But the view was so pretty, we got to capture two Eagles which was so nice

Beautiful park with something for everybody. Playgrounds, picnic areas, koi pond, trails, scenic overlooks...and the list goes on.

Amazing blufftop park with multiple overlooks high above the mighty Mississippi River. Excellent birding in all seasons, notably Bald Eagles in the winter. Awesome CCC-era park shelters, restrooms, stairs, and other park structures. Truly a treasure to rival most State Parks.

This is a great place to walk around and have a picnic. They have a variety of shelters that you can pick from. You can reserve the shelters. They have a little pond with Fish koi also called curb. They have a little area that sprays water for small children to get cooled off. They have a number of playgrounds and they also have tennis courts. There is also a bike/walk path from the main road all the way up to the top to Eagle point Park. It cost one dollar to drive into the park.

I had no idea I was headed to a park, I was just looking to get to higher ground for a photo. We came across this park entrance and decided to go in. The cost is a simple $1.00 fee. Driving up we noticed how nice the park actually is. We drove up to what is considered a lookout point. What a beautiful view from here. Very happy its a clear day and that we could take in the views. Plenty of parking, picnic shelters and restrooms available. Enjoyed about an hour watching the birds, boats, people and just admiring the views. It's also know for Eagle Watching which by the way the buzzards are flying around your going to get some great up close views of these eagles.

We spent the whole day here. There's so many different spots to get out of the car an to explore. So many different parks the views are just amazing. Lots of spots you could rent and have parties there. We enjoyed the fish pond.

You can spend hours here! Bring a picnic lunch. So much to see and do if you enjoy being outside and beautiful scenery. We very much loved our time spent at Eagle Point Park

We had a great time walking around all the different areas at Eagle point Park and Dubuque Iowa. You have a great view of the river and there are a lot of nice walking trails. Definitely worth the $1 that you have to spend to get into the park!

Historic large park with many modern playgrounds, clean rest rooms, historic prairie style pavilions- both open and enclosed. Bike baths, walking and hiking trails, mature forest and amazing vistas over the Mississippi, including Lock & Dam. Catch Bald Eagles & Turkey Vultures flying to & from their nests in the Cliffside.

In addition to the many playgrounds, there is a fountain play area for kids 10 & under...weather permitting.

Entry fee is $1 per car. Winding roads and lovely grounds are well maintained. Plenty of trash bins, even on a busy Labor Day.

Accessibility Accommodations are very well done. Bring your camera or you will regret it.

An absolute landmark! One of the best city parks in Iowa. Plenty of hiking, picnicking, gathering areas. Great for any occasion. Beautiful scenic overlook of the Mississippi River and the lock and dams. Some of the oldest and best pavilions of any parks anywhere. Many modern conveniences with a cool rustic look.
Don't miss the fish pond!

Magnificent park with mature trees. The view to the Mississippi river is terrific! I will be back to explore more.

Relatively quiet, quaint and nice view of the Mississippi River. There is wheelchair access in some of the paths. $1 to get in to the park per vehicle

Very nice for leaf looking. Gorgeous view of 3 states from one spot.Bonus buildings that are beautiful in the scenery.

Beautiful park with great views of the Mississippi River and the added bonus of being able to observe the river traffic at Lock and Dam No. 11 below. There is a $1 admission fee to the park and dogs are not allowed to leave your car.

This is a beautiful park. There are several places where you can look out at the Missippi River. The Locke and Damn was really cool. I can't wait to return when the leaves have changed.

Beautiful park, well worth the $1 entrance fee. Got to see a raft of barges go thru Lock 11. Clean restrooms. A fine place place for a picnic with great views. Playgrounds, tennis courts, party pavilions. Award winning landscaping.

One of the best parks along the Mississippi. One great feature is the park keeps the bluff clear of brush and trees so the views a superb.

A wonderfully relaxing place to walk, picnic, bike, or just and watch the river flow by. Take some time to see different places in this park, especially on a great weather day.

Great spot. Beautiful views and very well maintained. A great find and totally worth the trip up the hill. Looking forward to visiting again.
