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.Dont miss the fish pond!

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 cant wait to return when the leaves have changed.

This place is massive. We brought our 2 younger children as well and we all LOVED it. Cant wait to go back!!!

Cool park to spend the day at! It was $1 per car but nice place to be the lookout is awesome. Its like several parks in one.

Beautiful park. Lovely buildings for parties. Plenty of space for picnics.

Beautiful park! Could have spent the whole day there. Would be a great place for a picnic.

Beautiful park. Well maintained with interesting architecture and gorgeous views of the Mississippi. If you ride bikes, theres a path leading up from the Hamm house parking lot... The view is worth the climb!

Tree covered bluff park overlooking Mississippi River. Well maintained. Architecture interesting on park structures.

Beautiful views of the Mississippi River & locks... this park has multiple playgrounds & pavilions for families to gather... nice area to walk, bike & hike.

Lovely municipal park! With some neat WPA pavilions. :)

Amazing view! Cost $1.00 to get in which was fine. Could have spent all day there

Absolutely beautiful. Pristine, clean, fantastic view! Well worth the $1 entrance fee!

Always a great atmosphere. Relaxing, peaceful, and welcoming. For $1 entrance fee it is well worth it.

We went in october and the fall colors in the background of the Mississippi River presented a pretty site.

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

Nice park with cool vantage points of Mississippi. You get more in natures beauty here for the $1 to get in

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. Its 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.

Beautiful scenery. Saw a bald eagle!

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

Sweet park that we found with a quick google search for things to do in Dubuque. Great views from the lookout. Had to be half a dozen playground in the park. Cool fish pond and amphitheater. Bike trails are in the area. While there we passed three weddings so you can reserve locations for event.highly recommend a visit

It was beautiful! We even caught a glimpse of 2 eagles!

Quiet an scenic.....a must see!

Beautiful park with lots of room for kids to explore. Bonus fish pond!

This is a great family park. Watching the locks on the Mississippi, the eagles on the bluff, the trails, playgrounds (several), etc.

This park is at an elevated location. Giver wonderful view of the Mississippi river and the arrangement also thru which ships cross the barrage.

Great place to hang out ️

Very nice area to walk and view the Dam and Lock11.

Great views and very cool building that look Frank Lloyd wright inspired

Beautiful park and recreation area. Amazing views of the river and the locks.

Great views & very peaceful!

Nice river views! Lots of playgrounds and grilling areas. Good places for kids, groups, and parties. You have to pay $1 to enter.

Beautiful and well maintained. Had a great day!

Very cool park overlooking the Mississippi River, great views!

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.

The family loves this park. The views are great at the top. Look down and you can see the passage locks for the barges and maybe even see them used. Havent seen any eagles in the number of times weve visited, but plenty of Turkey vultures. When driving through the park and just before you get to the lookout area, make sure to see the HUGE coy pond. The pond is amazing with all kinds of rock structure around it. The pond is maybe 20 x 40 feet if I were to estimate. Worth checking out if youre in the area.

Absolutely beautiful views. And the eagles are everywhere.

Love the view of the Mississippi River. Also enjoyed the fish pond.

Big beautiful park on a cliff over the locks. Great place for a picnic!

Beautiful, spacious park overlooking the Mississippi. There is a nominal entry fee of $1 / vehicle. Plenty of shaded areas and many shelters for picnics. People do book these for events, so make reservations ahead if you need a pavilion. Otherwise, there are picnic tables out in the open areas too. The park is large enough that it does not feel over-crowded but it is definitely a popular place on nice weekends, so dont expect anything remote. You will not be off the beaten path.I had two small frustrations:- Bathrooms with running water are present, but they are spaced out so plan ahead.- It is a very spacious place with a seemingly endless winding road that leads through the park. This accommodates a large number of shelters, but makes it difficult to quickly find your destination. Allow a little extra time if youre coming for a scheduled gathering.

Fantastic place to spend a few hours.

A beautiful piece of Dubuques bluff. Many pavillions and even more great walking trails

Great place to visit. Only $1.00 for the whole car. We saw eagles to hummingbirds. Beautiful vistas. Watched a rain storm come in and then got caught in it. Oh how we laughed.

Very beautiful and a very beautiful view of the Mississippi River.

Outstanding park! Just go see it for yourself.

Clean, relaxing and beautiful. Areas for receptions, birthdays,etc. Its really worth the admission.

Nice view and people were maintaining social distance. Pleasant experience

Great little park with lots of space and picnic areas. Great views too! Well worth the $1 per car admission!

I love this park and just took my girlfriend up there to sight see. The only reason I marked it down is the $1 admission.

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

I had a great time. We took pictures. Went by a lot of pavilions. We also looked at the lock and dam from the park.

A very beautiful park

Always a beautiful park to visit.

Gorgeous fall colors. I love this park since I was a child and my parents took me there. My Dad is gone now and my Mother is in hospice. My Mother wanted to see this park again so my sister and I took her there and talked about the fun we had when we were children. Good memories.

Beautiful view! I wont spoil it with a photo!

I live very near this park and love it. Its a good place to walk and jog. Bring your bike too, its great for bike riding. Very nice scenery and an amazing elevated view of Lock and Dam no.11 on the Mississippi River. Should you be from out of town, please dont leave untill you have visited this park. The kids will love It. There is a very small charge to enter by auto but you can park in the Ham House parking lot and walk in for free.

Beautiful park, glad to see maintenance activities and landscaping efforts underway.

Great outdoor overlook views and stone buildings all over park.

Beautiful view of the river, beautiful buildings and a very nice walking path

This is a great place for a family or company type party. There are plenty of pavilions that are well maintained with great scenery. The view over the river is gorgeous and there is plenty to see. The kids have all kinds of room to run and have a great time while the older folks visit and sit back with a few beers. The car pass was only $1 which is extremely reasonable so dont hesitate to take a trip around the park and see all that it has to offer!

Spectacular views, varied landscape, and friendly people. Amazing perspective on trains and the lock and dam. Even my tween thought it was great

Pretty cool! It was very peaceful and relaxing. We took a sack lunch the first evening and explored the park and then went back the next evening with snacks and spent two hours watching two barges pass through Lock and Dam 11. Would highly recommend the park for visiting.

If you open the park, the restrooms should be open. Otherwise park is great.

Nice quiet park for picnics and relaxation.

Park is excellently designed and landscaped. Entire park was clean. Amazing views. Able to view dam/locks #11. Watched barges passing through the locks. Actually saw 2 eagles. Several playgrounds for children.

I was visiting from Wisconsin to visit my cousins and was so impressed with this place. So unique and beautiful with something for all ages. The lookouts were gorgeous and breathtaking. I took my senior pictures here too because it was so incredible. I hope to come back soon!

Very beautiful in the summer.. a must family picnic spot

Gorgeous views. Easy to get around. One dollar to get in!

Very cool public park. Lots of different playgrounds and overlooks and pavilions and all that. The parks best feature is the result of millennia of geographical forces which have raised the bluffs right at the edge of the Mississippi River. Grand vistas frequently showcase Dubuques natural beauty. I saw at least three balds eagles, numerous turkey vultures, and lots of aquatic birds. Ive been here several times in different seasons and its always great, but springtime might be the best time to visit.

Perfect place to have a tri-state view and Mississippi river view.

Unquestionably the best park in Dubuque

We love this park, the views are beautiful!

Such a beautiful place.

Ive lived in Dubuque for 18 years and Im still awed by this park. The architecture, the views, the nature... Its all amazing.

Great view of the mighty Mississippi

Beautiful! Right now it is open, and free. No bathrooms though.

The dam is really beautiful and there are many points to view it.

Great overlooks of the Mississippi River.

Wonderful views but really wish it were dog friendly.

This park is beautiful.

Beautiful park with overlooks of surrounding states, lock and dam, and Mississippi River.

Peaceful, cooled down this evening.

Beautiful park. Really.

Very nice park. And only $1 per car to get in. We didnt get to see any eagles but we did watch a boat go through the locks. Well definately go back later in the year to see the eagles.

So beautiful

Beautifully maintained and cleaned. There was something for everybody! We loved the view of the Mississippi, and several playgrounds. Well worth the $1/car.

Beautiful colors everywhere

Another great place to enjoy the view of the great Mississippi River. Also great to have birthday parties or just a simple picnic
