Akin Riverside Park is 6.5 acres of tranquil greenery that is a great way to take a quick break in a hectic day. It's on the Rum River and the Mississippi River, and it has a boat launch and two fishing platforms to go along with all that water. There are also the more typical amenities such as a playground for the kids to play in and picnic shelters with grills. There is also a historic trail, the Red Rum Regional Trail along with another historic site (and sight)--the 1914 Windego Park Auditorium which can be viewed from the footbridge.
