Where two mighty rivers meet. This state park is rather small as state parks go, and is more notable for its history and geological significance than its beauty. Driving from St. Louis to Alton, Il, you’ll come to a great area for eagle watching in the winter. You’ll have to drive a ways off the [...]

A favorite swimming spot, the water can be [...]

Elephant rocks is basically a great hiking trail with some good scenery. The rocks really do look like a line of huge elephants walking trunk to tail. The park is not huge, but the hike is nice for the family. A pretty good day trip from St. Louis if you enjoy a good drive. [...]
