Miesville Ravine Park Reserve is a Dakota County park near the town of Miesville, Minnesota. It preserves over 1,600 acres (6 km²) of biologically diverse land in the Cannon River valley. Most of the park is wooded with mature oak, maple, cottonwood, willow, red cedar, and white pine. Year-round hiking trails, more than 2 miles (3 km) total, and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) of ungroomed trails for snowshoeing offer scenic views of the valley floor and surrounding bluffs. It has two picnic shelters. Fishing on the trout brook is also a popular activity. In winter, the park is open from 8 a.m to 10 p.m.
