Eagle Point Park, Dubuque

Views toward the river and Lock and Dam No. 11 are a highlight, while the historic shelters reward a slower look at their design and craftsmanship.

Check seasonal entrance arrangements, vehicle fees and current improvement notices with the city before arriving. Choose a route that combines an overlook with the park’s built landscape, and keep clear of bluff edges. Shelter rentals and organized events use separate procedures. The accompanying winter photograph shows the park in a different season from its greener months.
