Garvin Heights Park

I feel very at peace there. And anytime the world feels overwhelming it's a great place to go to relax.

Gorgeous views!! I just wish my photos lucked up the colors better!

A great panoramic view of Winona and part of the Mississippi River. Restrooms: There were 2 portable "restrooms". Dog-friendliness: We saw a lone jogger so it must be dog friendly too.

Beautiful any time of year, but especially perfect for senior pictures in fall :

Nice viewing area with access to steep dirt trail. Travel to park up the paved, winding road was part of the scenic experience.

A short drive up a windy, steep road and Voila! - you've got yourself a spectacular view of Winona! Park the car and walk one minute to the spacious overlook perch. Or get a little adventurous and find a nearby trail to enjoy some other scenic vistas and wooded beauty. As the photos posted will make obvious, I visited in Fall on a gem of a weekend.

Super views. Parking is ample and fairly close to the overlook. A manageable walk for an aged relative. The views up and down the Mississippi River valley are amazing and Winona, the island city, spreads out below.

You'd be hard pressed not to find at least one other group of people out here, whether on the official look out or on the trail leading out to the edge of the bluff. It's a nice little hike with good views of Winona, stretching very far up the river in both directions.

Very pretty view and a nice drive! There are trails to hike too that are fun with lots of stairs!

Amazing panoramic views! Relatively short and easy walk from the parking lot to overlook.
