Eagle Point Park by Stephen-KarenConn
Dubuque is well know as a good place to see the American Bald Eagle, and we were told that the best place to see them is from Eagle Point Park. We the found park, situated on high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River on the north side of Dubuque. However, no eagles were to be seen on the day of our visit. Although Eagles might be in the area at any time, they are much more common in winter, and we were there in August.Still, Eagle Point Park is well worth a visit. It is the ideal place for a picnic or just enjoying the splendid views across the river into Illinois and Wisconsin. You can also get a very good arial view of Lock and Dam #11 on the Mississippi River.
The park has gardens, tennis courts, horseshoes, playground equipment, pavilions, barbecue grills, nature trails, a bandshell, and restrooms.
