Riverside Park: A La Crosse Gem for Photos, Picnics, and Family Fun

If you’re planning a photo session in La Crosse or just passing through, Riverside Park should be at the top of your list. Nestled along the Mississippi River, this iconic location is one of my absolute favorite spots to photograph — and for good reason.

The famous blue bridge offers a bold, beautiful backdrop that brings a sense of charm and depth to every image. Whether I’m photographing a family, capturing the milestone of a high school senior, or documenting a child’s wonder in nature, Riverside never disappoints.

Just steps away, you’ll find the Friendship Gardens — a hidden oasis bursting with color, textures, and peaceful vibes. It’s the kind of place where kids can explore and couples can sneak in sweet, quiet moments between shots. There’s even a sweet little gazebo with a picnic table — perfect for a midday snack break or letting the little ones regroup between photos.

Bonus tip: bring a blanket and a small picnic and stay for the sunset. The view over the river is unreal. 🌅

Whether you’re traveling from nearby or making the trip from farther away, I promise Riverside Park is worth the stop. Let’s turn your session into part of a full day of memories.
