Visiting Eagle Point Park

While in Dubuque, Linda and I took the opportunity to knock off one of the 100 Places, Eagle Point Park. High on the bluffs overlooking the river and Lock and Dam #11, this handsome park is a treasure. The design of most of the older park buildings is echos that of Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright and really fits in nicely with the natural feel of the space. Along the river, the views of the river valley are terrific. Back away from the river, there are fine shelters, horseshoe pits, and a very photogenic fish pond area. While we were there, a professional photographer was just getting started working with a family near the pond. It's a beautiful spot, well worth the dollar admission.
