About Two Rivers Waterfront Park

 

Two Rivers Waterfront Park is located in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, positioned where the East and West Twin Rivers merge before flowing into Lake Michigan. The park spans a beautifully maintained shoreline with views of the lake, river channels, and the city’s historic harbor. It features paved walking and biking trails that follow the waterfront, fishing piers that attract anglers, and various picnic spots for family outings. Ecologically, the park offers habitat for a range of aquatic birds and small wildlife native to the Great Lakes region. The river confluence area is also significant for local fish species that migrate seasonally. Historically, Two Rivers is known as one of the oldest European settlements on the western shore of Lake Michigan and was an important port and fishing hub, which is reflected in the park’s local maritime museum nearby and public art installations along its paths. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the park for casual strolls, biking with lake views, fishing, kayaking, and attending community events hosted seasonally on the waterfront stage. The park’s accessible design makes it a key recreational and cultural space for residents and visitors, linking water-based activities with city amenities and the historic downtown. The proximity to freshwater beaches and boat launch ramps enhances its appeal as a destination for Great Lakes recreation year-round.
