Tundra Swans are seen here in the fall. Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets congregate to feed on fish. Bald Eagles can also be seen soaring overhead. And these are just a few examples of the wildlife and bird life that can be viewed at the 14,000-acre Refuge, a national wildlife area that is one of the premier areas for birding in Minnesota and is part of the National Audubon’s Minnesota River Valley Birding Trail. The Refuge, strung along 34 miles of the Minnesota River, is an important area for migrating birds.
In addition, the Refuge provides parklands and hiking trails for wildlife viewing and photography. It also provides a variety of volunteer guided bird hikes and nature walks on all of the Refuge Units. Near Shakopee specifically, you’ll find the Louisville Swamp Unit, which includes 13 miles of trails among this marshland that are great for hiking and cross-country skiing. The parking lot for this Unit is near the parking area for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival grounds, which are just south of Shakopee and just off Highway 169.

Shakopee
Gear up for the great outdoors. Shakopee’s location in the gorgeous Minnesota River Valley attracts a large number of outdoor enthusiasts each
year who bring their bicycles, kayaks, canoes, cross-country skis, camping equipment and more to the region. Who can blame them, given the area’s ample opportunities for adventure on rivers, streams, lakes, wooded
areas, hiking trails and parks. Also, under a joint powers agreement Three Rivers Park District and Scott County combine resources to collectively operate all regional parks and trails in Scott County.
Or, maybe golf is your thing. Shakopee and the surrounding area host a number of beautiful public and private courses, built for players of all skill levels.

Three Rivers Park District
Still more outdoor adventures can be found in a number of other nearby parks and trails. Many of these parks and trails that visitors enjoy in the Shakopee area are a part of the Three Rivers Park District, which is a park system in the west suburban Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. The district manages nearly 27,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails and special-use facilities. The name “Three Rivers” comes from the area’s geography, situated within the watersheds that flow into three significant rivers to this region: the Mississippi, the Minnesota and the Crow. With facilities for every season, including picnicking, swimming, play areas, boating, fishing, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, golfing, camping, and sledding, Three Rivers Parks is the place for recreation, play and relaxation. Several of the parks near Shakopee also offer camping options, such as Carver Park in Victoria, Cleary Lake Regional Park in Prior Lake, and Cedar Lake Farm Regional Park in New Prague (see Campground listing in this section).
