Nature is close to home at county parks

Humphrey-Arends County Park, located just north of Waverly, offers a touch of history, in addition to breathtaking views of the Crow River. Former Vice President of the United States Hubery Humphrey, who was also a former Waverly resident, voted at this spot as a member of Middleville Township.

The peaceful park offers a scenic canoe access, more than one mile of river frontage, a picnic area, a primitive canoe campsite, and a historic memorial.

The park is named after Humphrey, who was a “vice president of the United States, a United States Senator, pioneer of Food for Peace, the Peace Corps, and a champion and friend to the family farmer,” according to Ralph G. Arends, a “family farmer, farm cooperator, farmer’s union advocate, community builder, exponent of democratic self help and good citizenship,” according to the marker.

Crow Springs County Park

Location: Several miles north of Montrose off State Hwy. 25; ten miles downstream of Humphrey Arends Park.

Located just ten miles down the Crow River from Humphrey Arends County Park is Crow Springs County Park, just north of Montrose off of Highway 25.
