Mississippi River Boat Launch and Overlook – locally known as “the Asphalt”, you can dip your feet in the Mississippi River at this spot.  Travel across the levee at Mayersville and the woods suddenly open up to a view of the Mighty Mississippi. If you’re lucky you may catch some tow boats passing by. (During high water, the road is not passable)
