From jct US 136 & S 2nd St (Iowa end of Miss. River bridge): Go 1 block W on S 2nd St, then 2 blocks S on Johnson St, then 1/2 block E on Water St, then 100 feet S across RR tracks (under bridge), then 1 block W on frontage road (past museum).
The tour guide was very nice, knowledgeable & it was interesting to see history up close
Really neat place right on the Mississippi River. Within walking distance you can watch barges and their rugs go thru the lock. There is an old steam tug
on dry display that is a museum and for a small fee you can tour it. Well worth a stop.
Great park!!! Highway 136 is one of my favorite motorcycle routes through Missouri and Illinois. I always stop at this park in Keokuk. Great views of the River, bridge, and locks. The dam is their and power plant. It’s a nice place for picnic.
Love being able to take pictures of the Eagles and scenery at the river.
