The northern-most trail leads to Riverdale Park. This small, local park has some playground equipment for children. The Mississippi River Community Park has a picnic shelter, grill, and a walking trail along the river.

The trail on the west side of the river is slightly longer, just over two miles in length. This trail parallels Dayton Road and provides an entrance to Galloway Park at the north end. Galloway Park, named for a former Champlin police chief, serves as an oasis for a variety of native birds. The unpaved trail inside the park is less than one mile in length and provides a spectacular view of the Mississippi.
