Ames Park and Riverside Commons
Water Street
As you stroll along the scenic Cannon River, you will notice the impressive 19th-century downtown historic district. Wander over the pedestrian bridge linking the shops on the east side to those on the west side of the river. In the evening, find a comfortable perch and watch the sun set and the falls light up.
