Description
A system of 10 interconnecting trails that run atop the bluffs over looking the Mississippi River. Great overlooks and plenty of Eagle watching in the winter and early spring. It is just for dayhiking but there is a campground in the park. The River Road leading to the park is considered a National Scenic Byway and is worth an afternoon in itself.

Directions to Hike
From Alton, IL follow the River Road approximately 15 miles north passing through Grafton. The park is on the right. The Mississippi River is on the left.
