Levee Road & South Main Street
New Madrid, MO
Visitors to the riverfront area of New Madrid will find a nicely laid out area featuring an observation deck that offers panoramic views of the Mississippi River. In addition to the deck that juts out into the river is a 1/5 mile walkway that runs along side of the river to Riverside Park. This walkway has several benches along the way as well as historic markers that explain about the New Madrid Earthquakes, the role of the town during Civil War, the Mississippian Native Americans, and how the river shaped community life over the last 200 years.
Within walking distance of this riverside complex are the New Madrid Historical Museum, the Higgerson School Historic Site, the Hart-Stepp House, and the downtown area of New Madrid.
