Memorial Park - Dundas Dukes home field

Highlight • Rest Area

Fun wooden Dukes statue and quite a baseball diamond. I have yet to sit and watch a game, but I have looked over the fence at some as I pedal by.

Awesome mill ruins right on the Cannon River. Nice parking lot here if you want to get on the river or the bike trails. Right across the bridge from Chapel Brewing.
