All trails are not created equal--this is a beautiful hilly hike. Be prepared to get your heart pumping and your adrenaline flowing! Lovely trails!! My first time here, and I will definitely be back!

All dirt trails that go deep inside a wooded area surrounded by rich peoples houses. although there is only about 2 mi of trail it consists of many loops up and down little valleys with lots of creeks along the way

Great views and I nice place to hike. Can get a bit icy in the winter and early spring. Can also be muddy and slippery diring snow melt or a lot of rain.

This park is great for picnics, hiking and just viewing nature. I think great for kids imaginations as there are many great areas to explore and build forts. Great workout with many hills. Lovely view of the valley from the bluffs. Picnic area and portable pottys are a great perk.

The area is nice and there are trails to hike and places to picnic and stuff like that. The parking is at the bottom of some bluffs and you can hike through the trees on unpaved trails to the top and see some decent views.Theres not much parking so I wouldnt be surprised if the lot fills up regularly. It was full when we parked and still full when we left about an hour later.We were there after some decent rains in the last month or so, as a result some of the trails are pretty washed out. Its not unsafe, but its not super easy going either.We thought the trails werent marked very well, so we ended up going in circles for a little bit. In the end we ended up leaving before getting around to much of the area.So do better than we did and sort of pay attention to the trail maps (which are small, but they are posted frequently) or use an app to keep from trapseing up and down the bluffs if thats not what youre hoping for.

Nice trail if you want a real hike! Theres also some great outlooks at the top. Beautiful scenery!

This is a nice little hiking area. Pretty overlook and at least 2 picnic areas. Easy hikes for our 5 and 7 year olds.

Love the shaded trails. Theres 1 that is steep. Theres also another that is gentler but longer. Both go to same summit which has a wide view of MN River and Shakopee. I prefer going there when snow is on the ground--no bugs and I enjoy the challenge to not fall.

Great for hiking make sure you wear the right shoes.

Beautiful, quiet hiking spot, good for beginners.

Great hidden hiking trails in the EP suburbs

Great hiking with multiple trails. Some elevation

Great place to hike or bring the dog. Well maintained with bice bridges and trails. Postings and info in several locations. Top of the hill is the best view if the Valley!

Great trail! Easy to navigate.

Wonderful natural area for a hike. The paths could be a bit better marked as it’s kind of easy to get turned around. Also it’s basically treated as an off leash dog park.

Great place to hike and learn a little more history about the natives that lived here.

Nice place to hike around and enjoy the fall colors

We always have so much fun!

Great park for those who like hiking on natural trails.

Great hiking. Incredible views of the river valley.

Good view. Good hike

Nice little open area for a picnic and some nice walking trails.

Great hiking area very clean and peaceful and beautiful scenery ..especially at the top of the hill

Great trails, lots of hills and beautiful look out points. Fresh spring water on tap too!

Steep trails but well marked and shaded.

I had my first visit in May 2020. There are dirt trails with more than 300 feet of potential climb. Ill be back.

Very cool hike through different types of forestation.

This is one of the best trails in the southwest metro. Great for hiking, exploring or running. I go here with my kids and take the trail up to the highest point to catch one of the gorgeous bored that oversee Bloomington, Savage & Shakopee. They also have a fountain in which you can fill your jigs with.

Great scenery and trails are awesome.

Amazing trails

Fantastic views. Nice mix of terrain.

Its a good place to hike and wonderful sight

Magical place so beautiful but dont get lost its really big!

Challenging hike but the river valley views are worth it

Weve hiked the main loop here twice (fall and spring) and think its fabulous. The view from the highest point is wonderful and the wooded portion of the hike is beautiful as well. We loved it in both seasons!

Great place to bring kids for hiking

Quite a view and some challeging hiking trails. Well worth the excorsize.

Lots of trails. Updating the paved path on flying cloud.

Theres some challenging hiking here. The downside is the area is a little small, and a bit swampy in the low spots. You can pretty easily walk every trail loop here in less than a couple of hours.The swamps make a good mosquito breeding ground, so in the spring and late fall its not too bad, but in the summer it can get pretty bad. There is a spring here, but theres a lot of iron around so it doesnt taste the greatest. There are some nice views of the river valley if you dont mind the climbing.

My fiance and I have been here twice so far this year (2018). The first time we visited, we were surprised by the trails - the one that was listed as more difficult should have been listed as very challenging due to fall/trip hazards. The incredibly steep rocky hill is worth the climb for the views - so make the climb if youre physically able! The second time we visited this park (7/5/2018) we had a picnic with our two dogs at the shelter area, which was fabulous despite a few mosquitos! Its a shame this park only has one picnic shelter with only two tables.

What a beautiful place! But be prepared to climb! We didn’t find any level paths

Nice park, suitable for hiking, specially for beginners. I have seen some cross country guys here, will do the same next spring and summer.

Nice hike

A true gem. Great trails and breath-taking views

Muddy and buggy.

There are plenty of trails here to take the kids on. There are some decent vertical climbs but they can be avoided. Id recommend taking them so you can reach the viewpoints that overlook the entire valley.

There is a surprising amount of hiking to be bone in this small nature reserve. Great views and a lot of up hill and down hill.

Beautiful area

A great place to roam. There is some ice this time of year. Beautiful vistas up high on the hill.

I just moved here from Wisconsin. We have great trails in Wisconsin, Devils Lake, Parnell Trail, Butler Lake and many more all form from the Ice Age. Ive walked Richard Anderson Park 3 times I like it alot. Im going to start drinking the water on a daily basis Minnesota has a great artesian wells trails, and state parks. I work for this line for 30 years so I know how beautiful Minnesota is and Im glad to be back.

Nice little getaway from the city. A great mix of trails. From easy (flat) to hard (hilly). Be sure to get a sip of water from the natural spring fountain!

Awesome place. Climb to the top for a fantastic view and along the trails there is a cool historic tour.

My favorite place to relax in the cities! It feels like 4 separate parks in one! Very beautiful! Tip: Dont miss the climbing tree on the bluffs.

Great hiking area

Truly gorgeous views. Nice path. Bring hiking boots, muddy in some places.

Beautiful place to hike and fun place to play Pokémon Go. It is a double nest. Always meet nice people.

Great for an outdoor adventure close to home. Spectacular view of Minnesota River Valley from the highest hill. Come back to view the changes each season.

Great hike. Well marked trails. Scenic views.

Great hiking trails with scenic overlooks. Lots of tree cover. Trails can be damp after rain, and make sure to wear mosquito repellent.

Really cool lookout points and always pretty empty.

Fun hilly trails all around. Some are hidden! Good workout with good views ahead!

Very minimalistic park. Mostly just a path to the trail up top

Great parking area.

I love this park, really hilly makes a good hike

Beautiful hiking/walking with woodlands, bluffs and a creek that runs through it.

Great climbing trails and beautiful scenic views

Nice walking paths overlooking mn river

Magical place with diverse biomes and glorious views

Beautiful, much enjoyed!

Very beautiful scenery

Great trail running

Small loops but allows for a lot of climbing with little need to carry much with you

Getting a bit run down, trail map not accurate. Needs some park lovers to give it some TLC.

Beautiful views and very scenic trails

The bluffs is where its at!!!

Great views,

Great trails

Just came for the spring water :)

Great hiking trails

Nice scenery.

Great view at the top of the hill

Lovely quiet hiking
