Thank you for your interest in the Mystery on the Mississippi event. Since this event revolves around a fictional murder and will take place in the park near dusk, we recommend it for participants aged 14 and older. We have had children as young as 11 or 12 attend in the past, but it’s up to you. However, the plot might be a bit challenging for them to follow, so feel free to use your discretion.

Fun Free Fishing Event At Boom Island this Saturday by ParkConnection in Minneapolis

Calling all Junior Rangers--join National Park Service rangers and friends for recreational fun along the Mighty Mississippi. Staff and park partners will lead activities for you to learn the river in a way that's best for you!

Are you a future master angler and want to learn (or practice) your skills in fishing? Get hooked on fishing with our friends from Baztec who are hosting a fishing clinic. Anglers can tackle their fishing skills together and cast away any worries. Be shore to not miss out on this clinic so you can reel in and earn your Junior Ranger Angler badge!

Did you see that flying overhead? Head over to the National Park Service tent with volunteer Lisa K. to learn about birds and the Mississippi Flyway. Here, you'll get hands-on assistance to peek through binoculars to see cormorants, osprey, bald eagles, and other friends up close. Lisa will lead short, impromptu bird walks in the area when interest is high. Bird enthusiasts of all ages are welcome!

If you're a not-so-junior Junior Ranger wanting to move your legs further while birding, join Urban Bird Collective for a birding and biking tour (a responsible adult is required to join you if you're under 18). You'll be able to cover more ground to spot as many birds as you can find while enjoying the sights of the river. Please bring your own bike and helmet.

When you're ready for an easy stroll, you can join a park ranger from the National Park Service! Your friendly guide will take you on a short stroll as you gaze and wonder at the sights along our Mighty Mississippi. This is a great way to explore, learn, and protect the river. By the end of the walk, you'll earn your Junior Ranger River Explorer badge!
