Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Route

56.0 miles: 1 hours, 27 minutes

After passing through small villages, tranquil farmlands stretch before you with a small town midway on Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Route (SR 3/SR 143/SR 100/SR 16/Eldred Rd/SR 108). The last leg loops south around flat croplands bordered by rolling hills then skirts beside the Illinois River ending at Kampsville ferry dock.

Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Route takes you from the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers into the peaceful countryside past crop fields, farmhouses, red barns, metal grain silos and a few small villages. Catch glimpses of sparkling Illinois River through trees opening to a wide river view in Kampsville.
