Review:
Sitting on a flat sand plain in the Mississippi River, the community of Harpers Ferry is a wonderful place to come if you want to enjoy the river's natural beauty. Numerous public marinas can be found in the surrounding area, and many visitors bring their boats to get out on the water and do some fishing. Clamming is a popular activity as well, and if you'd rather fish from the shore, you can do so in Harpers Slough Park. While you're in the area, it's also worth stopping at the nearby Effigy Mounds National Monument to see the impressive animal-shaped mounds.
