If you, like most of Minnesotans having been pent up all winter, love the out of doors, you’ll love the parks and recreation available in Hastings. Start out in Afton State Park hiking or biking along miles of scenic trails or stop at a secluded swimming beach or camp out at any number of hike-in sites. Then try out your outdoor skills at Spring Lake Park Reserve where you can follow an archery trail or visit Schaar’s Bluff Picnic Area for some stunning views. Then, just off Highway 61, visit the beautiful Vermillion Falls and limestone ravine where there is a picnic shelter, grills and abundant trails for hiking and biking. And also, being located on the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers, public dockage is available for boaters, canoes, fishing and water skiing. Area boat rental is also available.
Other notable locations to visit include Lock and Dam Number 2, the East Second Street Commercial Historic District, West Second Street Residential Historic District, the Alexis Bailly Vineyard, Ramsey Mill Ruins, and the LeDuc Historic Estate.
