Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Mississippi Palisades State Park is a 2,500-acre outdoor space which was established in 1973. Also recognized as a U.S. National Natural Landmark, the park is one of the most popular ones in Illinois. In addition to its stunning wooded areas, visitors will also be able to explore and enjoy the several large cliffs and caves which are located within the park along the shore of the Mississippi River. Some of the activities offered include camping, cross country skiing, fishing, geocaching, hiking, hunting, metal detecting, rock climbing, and picnicking. Some of the hiking trails you’ll walk on are on the same path Native American pathfinders took so many years ago. The area is rich in beauty as well as history, and you’ll see and learn so much in the time you spend there.
