I appreciate the native wildflower garden out front. Inside, a nice 3D relief map of the park gives you a better idea of the trails than the paper or digital maps can. Also some small exhibits on the history and wildlife of the area.
We camped here overnight. This morning we took a fantastic hike. Beautiful trails and overlooks of the Mississippi. Clear day; we could see the St Louis Arch in the distance!
My favorite Sunday drive destination. Chicken dinner at the lodge is quite good. I love to drive along the scenic Vista trail.
This is a beautiful State Park. The Visitor Center is staffed with knowledgeable, friendly staff and is stocked with a lot of information and interesting atrifacts. Clean restrooms. Views from the Scenic Drive atop the bluffs are breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful state park on the confluence of the Illinois & Mississippi rivers. Great Hiking trails with many activities from Eagle watching to horseback riding not to mention the Great Lodge and restaurant.
