Nice park. Website said there's a campground, but there's not. No amenities on site. Very cool place besides that, though. It's where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi River. Can see borders of Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. Pretty sweet spot.
Beautiful
Really cool place and we got to see them move some barges around. Had no idea Lewis and Clark had made a stop there.
Whatever was in this park before is all gone now. Good sized park with no amenities. No park benches or tables, no bathrooms, no running water, no electricity. Plenty of shade & a nice background with a clear unobstructed view of the confluence of Ohio & Mississippi rivers between the Cairo Ohio River Bridge & the Cairo Mississippi River Bridge. This park has great potential, it should be refurbished to its former glory.
If you're into the sort of thing like seeing the literal line where 2 rivers converge then go take a look. It is pretty neat. BUT, that is all that's there to see. No facilities, restrooms, gas stations. Nothing. But it is kinda neat to see. Once.
