Seven Mile
Creek County Park is the only county park in Nicollet. It is 628
acres in size, and home to 8 miles of multi-use trails. Picnic
areas, volleyball courts, a ball diamond, and a boat landing to the
Minnesota River make the park a popular destination for outdoor
recreation seekers. Some of the natural attractions include the
thickly forested riparian zone bordering Seven Mile Creek,
impressive sandstone bluffs at the park's entrance, and a
spring-fed trout stream in the lower stretch of the creek. Created
in 1967, the park hosts over 150,000 visitors annually. The creek
for which the park is named was called Seven Mile by early settlers
because the crossing was roughly 7 miles from the county courthouse
by way of a trail that is now Highway 99.
