Bassett Creek Outflow (historic)

Highlight • River

Bassett Creek is an ancient water catchment that flows 12 miles from its source at Plymouth's Medicine Lake, meandering through golf courses, parks and backyards in the western suburbs. However, once the creek reaches the city, it quickly vanishes into a vast tunnel that travels deep underground until it reaches its outlet, about 75 feet east of the West River Parkway Trail through the Bassett Creek Tunnel, a stone arch culvert built back in 1890.

Boom Island Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

This park provides breathtaking views of the city's skyline and the Mississippi River. It earned its name from the historical use of booms to separate logs as they floated down the river. Today, you can enjoy numerous picnic areas to soak in the picturesque surroundings.
