Allis Park
Allis Park was named after Mr. Roy Allis who was an early, prominent citizen of Oronoco. Mr. Allis donated the park land by the dam to Olmsted County in 1937. A major renovation was done in 1966 which included a new dock and boat launching ramp. A 19th-century millstone was mounted in the park as a reminder of the Allis Grist Mill that also once operated there from 1864-1879. The current park area was severely damaged during the 2010 Flood and was closed until repairs were done in 2017 during the river and bridge restoration.

This small park is now a great place to dip your toes in the shallow rapids, enjoy amazing sunsets and take in the beauty of the Zumbro River. Park facilities include a few picnic tables, bench seating and a seasonal restroom. Nearby, just to the east of the bridge, you can find Boulder Dam Kayak, Canoe & Tubing Rentals @ https://www.boulderdamcanoe.com/ where the whole family can enjoy a trip down the Zumbro River together!
*Private kayak & canoe launches are also allowed at the Boulder Dam location access.
