It is right in the Mississippi River so the view is breathtaking. There is a lovely walking path along the Waters edge and an old fort where they do re- enactments which re fun for the kids. The town is very friendly and quiet. It is a great place to relax, unwind, and just enjoy a bit of tranquility.
