Raspberry Island provides a small public waterfront landscape in downtown Saint Paul.

Paths, planting and river views create a place to pause below the city’s bridges, with spaces also used for announced performances and gatherings.
The photograph shows the island during an earlier visit. River conditions and scheduled events can change access, so check current city notices before travelling. Public gatherings and organized use require separate permit arrangements. Stay on designated routes, keep clear of restricted rowing or service areas and respect barriers near the water. Confirm the available approach and accessibility before planning a visit with a larger group.
