Activities Down by the River

CITY HOUSE

UnlocK the wonders of the Mississippi’s leGendary waters.

Saint Paul sits at the heart of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, with an unmatched 26 miles of riverfront — the longest of any city in the U.S.

The lands around Saint Paul and the Mississippi River have been sacred ground for the Dakota, Ojibwe, and diverse Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. To the Dakota, the river, called Wakpá Tháŋka or Haha Wakpa, represents the conduit that binds all waters and living beings. We acknowledge Saint Paul and the river as the ancestral homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, honoring their enduring legacy that continues to shape and inspire us today.

Here, you’ll find endless opportunities to fish, boat, kayak, canoe, or explore trails perfect for biking, hiking, and birdwatching. Begin your journey at the Mississippi River Visitor Center, conveniently located just off the lobby of the Science Museum of Minnesota. V I S I T S A I N T PA U L

The Saint Paul Downtown Alliance, in partnership with the City of Saint Paul and public and private partners, has launched the Downtown Investment Strategy — a plan that includes 3 bold initiatives that will add to the city’s already strong, connected foundation. 1 [

Turning Office Space into Housing Downtown is evolving! 10 office buildings are prime candidates and could be reimagined into nearly 4,000 residential units. With construction already started on two projects, this transformation is happening fast. More homes = more energy, more opportunity!

I N S I D E R

]

mayor melvin carter “We are a city that truly cares about one another.”

Describe Saint Paul in three words? Connected. Eclectic. Dynamic.

2

Making Downtown More Walkable & Accessible Pedestrian-friendly streets are the future, and it’s happening before our eyes! Pedro Park will be complete by the summer of 2025, and with a whopping $250 million investment in recent sidewalk and street upgrades, get ready for an even more connected Saint Paul.

Saint Paul is soaring to new heights and you’re welcome to join us.

3

Big Moves Early-phase actions to advance redevelopment at three exciting sites are underway. Several partners are involved in prominent efforts across downtown, including Central Station (Metro Transit), RiversEdge (Ramsey County) and Xcel Energy Center (City of Saint Paul and partners).

Why do people thrive in Saint Paul?

Saint Paul has the No. 2 municipally-funded parks system in the nation, offering unparalleled yearround access to the outdoors and recreation. Our world-class hospitals, schools, libraries, and vibrant neighborhoods provide a strong foundation for families to grow, businesses to thrive, and communities to flourish.

Why build a life in Saint Paul?

The city is growing, but its strong sense of community never wavers. Here, neighbors know neighbors. Saint Paul invests in its people, and a culture of care defines daily life.

What makes the city such a fun spot?

We have three state-of-the-art professional athletic stadiums, one of the best farmers’ markets, top-tier art and cultural museums, a robust brewery community, lively music venues and performance theaters, a diverse food scene and year-round festivals. V I S I T S A I N T PA U L
