Crow-Hassan Park Reserve
 

Located on the Crow River, Crow-Hassan Park Reserve is a 2,600-acre park which evokes images of early pioneers as they crossed the wilderness in covered wagons. The large, uninterrupted expanse of land bordered by the Crow River that makes up the Park Reserve offers a feeling of wilderness and solitude.

No matter what time of the year one visits, the 600-acre restored prairie is colorful and ever-changing: spring brings delicate wildflowers; summer produces stands of tall grasses that dance in the breeze; fall offers a spectacular color display and winter leaves white snow, drifting like ocean waves. Deer, fox, coyotes, trumpeter swans, hawks and bald eagles may be seen from the many miles of trails that wind through the park.
