Confirmed from Lowell Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Picnic-ready park with sculptures for winter snow carvers and outdoor benches.
What runners say about Lowell Park
“There are a lot of bars and restaurants, some with rooftop seating with a beautiful view of the river.”
It is a tourist town. There are a lot of bars and restaurants, some with rooftop seating with a beautiful view of the river. There are souvenir and antique shops. Quite a few things to do and see. The walk on the lift bridge was nice.
Lowell park is such a wonderful city park right on the shores of the St. Croix River and just right next to downtown Stillwater. It is great for walking around anytime of year. I especially love all the events that take place throughout the year.
Such a beautiful park by the St Croix River. There are picnic tables there, so if you want to have a little bite with friends or family, you can't go wrong. What's also great is that a lot of the high light spots are close by that they are just walking distance.
Always a thrill to visit Lowell Park in the heart of historic Stillwater, MN, on the waterfront of the St. Croix River. Great views of the gazebo and lift bridge with walking and biking trails. Especially fun during the annual World Snow Sculpting Championship each January or during rising waters in spring.
