Local Attractions   
The Great River Road Trip - Spend the day up and down both
sides of the Mississippi River. The Great River Road and
National Scenic Byway on the Illinois side and the Great River
Road and National Scenic Byway on the Missouri side make for
an outstanding day trip.

You will travel through towns like Clarksville MO and Grafton IL.
You can cross the Winfield and Golden Eagle ferries or the
bridges in Alton IL and Louisiana MO. Don't forget Hannibal MO
that is the birthplace of  Mark Twain...a short drive from our lodge.

Attractions: Clarksville Visitor Center, Alton's National Great
Rivers Museum, Kampsville's Center for American Archeology,
antique stores, craft stores, and much more! (Mid January thru
mid March are peak eagle watching times)

In 1998, the federal government evaluated dozens of drives
around America in search for candidates for National Scenic
Byway designation. After a painstaking process, the Illinois Great
River Road from Alton to Kampsville was awarded this rare and
honored designation.

The drive is stunning, with the towering bluffs on one side and the
Mighty Mississippi on the other. Spend a day or a week...the view
is spectacular and it is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

It doesn't get any better than this.......
