Mud Island Riverwalk

This is one of the neatest parks that we have ever been to. It's a local hot spot for children and adults to learn about the Mississippi river and to enjoy the nice weather in Memphis. Located downtown, Mud Island is a small replica of the Mississippi river that children can walk through. It goes into great detail and US states are labeled on the sidewalk so you can see how far you have traveled down the river. Each step you take on the replica river is actually accounted for one mile of the actual Mississippi river. At the end of the park, a large fountain of water exists so children can play. There are restaurants and museums surrounding the free park.

In order to get to the park, you had to walk a long bridge or take the monorail. This is the view of the park from the bridge. The river was completely surrounding the park.
