About

Riverside Park is a public park in Menomonie along the Red Cedar River right off Highway 29. We provide outdoor spaces for community recreation, including picnic shelters, grills, tables, restrooms, and adult outdoor workout equipment. Visitors can use our boat ramp to access the river for paddling and fishing, or explore paved walking trails. Our grounds also connect directly to the Red Cedar State Trail depot, which offers walking, biking, and winter cross-country skiing.

The City of Menomonie's oldest and possibly largest park with a community history that goes back to the days of the Knapp, Stout & Co. lumber company. One of the most authentic and long-lived gifts to the city that while having seen many changes in over 120 years has still remained intact, unlike Wakanda Park I, which only lasted a couple decades before being nearly completely replaced by Wakanda Park II starting in 1958.

Great long path to walk. We didn't go all the way down, because it's something like 14 miles one way (according to my daughter). It winds along the river there. The only issue we had was a tree was down across the path blocking a girl in a wheelchair from proceeding, but my daughter and a couple of guys snapped the branches back so that she could get along the side. Another walker mentioned that crews get out there rather quickly to clear any debris like that. Had definitely become a spot that my daughter and I will meet up at often for walks.

The trailhead here is a big deal, Red Cedar Trail connects to Chippewa River Trail and is an excellent stretch in its own right This park serves as a rec area for the trail, not much here to distinguish itself. But there are picnic and grill areas, walking paths and an outdoor gym The trailhead building is open in the summer, and there is a brewery nearby, as in, right there. Very cool nexus area here.

This is an excellent local park with bathrooms and water supply. There is an excellent ramp for accessing the Red Cedar River for paddling and fishing with no access fee.

Wonderful gravel trail lined with trees. Plenty of shade. Saw many bikes on trail. I will be going again when I have more time to go further down.
