From here, you'll catch a glimpse of picturesque Steamboat Island. The viewpoint sits right beside the trail, so it's the perfect place to hop off your bike and enjoy a break.

The trails in the park are wide and well-marked. The changing leaves make this an especially beautiful hike in the fall. The scenery is stunning and the trail winds through a cave near the southern end. Make sure you are prepared for creek crossings.

Depending on the time of year, the river crossings can be anywhere from ankle-deep to waist-high. You are best off checking the water levels before you arrive and bringing roll-up hiking pants or water shoes. There are four creek crossings between the start and the typical turn-around point of the trail.

You can hike out along the tip of the island on a flat packed gravel path. From the end you appear to be in the very river itself, as the water swells around you past a wooden fence shaped like the prow of a ship.

This is a fantastic scenic overlook where you get views of both natural and man-made waterfalls along the Missouri River and the great sweeping arc of Ryan Dam.

As you stroll along the river's path, you'll come face to face with this modern marvel, witnessing the harmony between nature and industry along the tranquil banks of the Missouri River.
