This blufftop battlefield will draw you in not only for a history lesson about the Civil War, but for the attractive ground set on bluffs overlooking the mighty Mississippi.
Take an extended trek on a six-mile hiking trail that explores the park and it ecosystems. Bring lunch, too, and enjoy the fine picnic grounds.
See the bluff overlook, and all the entrenchments and forts from the Confederates who lived through the longest siege of the entire Civil War.
