Shingle Point

Shingle Point is a riverside park nestled along the Mississippi, providing views of passing ships. The area features a quiet atmosphere, ideal for walking dogs or enjoying a peaceful moment outdoors. Nearby, the remnants of Fort St. Leon offer a touch of history worth exploring. Anglers can venture here for fishing, with reports of blue catfish and river cats being caught. However, visitors have noted some litter in the vicinity, which detracts from the natural beauty. While not officially recognized as a dark sky park, its waterfront location may provide opportunities for stargazing, particularly on clear nights free from urban light.
