Review & FAQ:
The Mississippi Palisades State Park protects 2,500 acres where the Mississippi and Apple Rivers meet. Trails at the park trace the footsteps of the earliest Native American habitants in the area, who created these early footpaths as they traveled along the river. The 15 mile trail system includes 5 narrow and rugged trails that wind through the bluffs above the river, and easy trails through the forests to the north. Camping is available for tents and RV’s. Fishing and boating the river are popular activities, with no limits on motor sizes. In the winter months, the park is open for cross country skiing and sledding.
