    Tips

    December 3, 2025

    This little town punches far above its weight class in terms of recreation opportunities. It sits right on the banks of the Mississippi River, with Devil's Backbone Park just to the west and Shawnee National Forest to the east. Grand Tower also serves as the western terminus of the River to River Trail, a 160-mile thru-hike (with hearty portions of road walking) that traverses between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
