  • Beautiful view!!! Very impressive!!! Best view of the Mississippi we found in Hannibal. Do not try to pull in the drive of the house you pass on the way up in spite of the fact it says Lovers Leap...

  • There are many Lover's Leap locations in the US. This one perhaps made famous by Mark Twain. Go at sunset for the golden hour. Take some nice photos. You need 20 min max.

  • Many stories about this place. A few even modern times. There's a lot of padlocks on the fence with names and dates on them. This seems to be a new trend. You get a great view of Hannibal and the Mississippi river. The road to the Leap is short but steep,so be careful.
  • A simply breathtaking view of Hannibal and the Mississippi River below ( as well as Illinois across the river ), this is easily the best panorama in the area. There's no entrance fee and it's not necessary to stay for much more than 10 to 15 minutes as that's all the time necessary to read the text on the two monuments and take in the incredible view.
