Find parking nearThe Covington Inn

The Covington Inn is a unique floating bed and breakfast moored along the Mississippi River in Harriet Island Regional Park, offering close-up river views with the downtown St. Paul skyline just across the bridge. Guests typically park on shore in public lots within the park and then walk a short distance along the public pier to reach the inn, so it is important to allow extra time to find a space and get oriented before check-in. Traffic in this riverfront area can be steady during peak commute times and on pleasant weekends, when locals and visitors come to enjoy the park, the trails, and nearby riverboat cruises. Planning your arrival and parking in advance helps make your visit smoother and lets you focus on the waterfront setting instead of circling for a spot.

Because the inn sits within Harriet Island Regional Park, most parking follows city park rules, with designated surface lots and signed areas that can fill quickly during busy periods and special gatherings. Street parking in the immediate vicinity is limited, and some nearby business or private lots are reserved, so drivers should always pay attention to posted time limits, payment requirements, and any “no parking” notices before leaving their car. Booking parking near The Covington Inn ahead of time can reduce stress, especially if you are unfamiliar with downtown St. Paul or are carrying luggage for an overnight stay. As regulations and availability can change, visitors should always confirm current parking information with official city and park resources before they travel.
