Find parking near Minnesota Boat Club

Minnesota Boat Club on Raspberry Island is a historic rowing club and event venue set on the Mississippi River just below the Wabasha Street Bridge, offering striking views of downtown St. Paul. Founded in the 1870s and housed in a Mission Revival style boathouse from 1910, it is one of the city’s oldest athletic institutions and a sought after spot for weddings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings. Its island setting creates a special destination feel while still being only a short walk from central St. Paul attractions.

Because the club is on a small island with limited on-site spaces and shared park access, parking can be competitive during busy times, and surrounding downtown streets often fill quickly during events and peak commuter hours. Planning parking near Minnesota Boat Club in advance helps visitors avoid circling for a spot, navigate one-way streets and bridge approaches more easily, and enjoy a stress free walk along the riverfront to the venue. Street parking in the wider downtown area is typically time limited or metered, with enforcement that visitors should review before leaving their vehicle. Always confirm current parking rules, rates, and regulations with official city and venue resources before your trip.
