Information on Bellevue

Four Seasons of Recreation: 

The centerpiece, in every season, is the Mississippi River. In spring and summer her sparkling waters and sun-drenched islands lure anglers, boaters, and waterskiers, of course. But there's also something magical about a stroll along a dappled autumn beach while vintage steamboats chug by. In winter, there's the sight of bald eagles soaring above the mists of a frosty river.
