Crow-Hassan Park Reserve – Lupine Praire (Unit 7)

This is an established prairie restoration that was installed in 1974.  The unit has a high diversity of native wildflowers.  The woods on the south and west side of the prairie were recently (2024) thinned to create a savanna edge allowing for specialized wildlife to use the area. 

Three Rivers Park District is a park system in the west suburban Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area of Minnesota. We manage almost 27,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, regional trails, and special-use facilities. The name "Three Rivers" comes from our parks' geography, situated within the watersheds that flow into three significant rivers to this region: the Mississippi, the Minnesota and the Crow.

With facilities for every season, including picnicking, swimming, play areas, boating, fishing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, golfing, camping and sledding, Three Rivers Parks is the place for recreation, play and relaxation. We have developed an extensive trail system for hiking, biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We also offer program sites for nature, recreation, historic and farm education. The Park District serves more than 14.3 million visitors annually.
