Description:

Location:

Pilot Knob is a 23-acre site that has significant ecological, scenic,
cultural and historic value. It provides connectivity and buffering to
ecological resources at the confluence of the Minnesota and
Mississippi Rivers. The area is well known for bird observation of
numerous uncommon and rare species and provides outstanding
vistas of the river valleys, historic Fort Snelling and downtown
Minneapolis. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of

habitat corridor. Two Natural and Scenic Area grants and two
Remediation Fund grants were awarded to the City to help acquire
