Discover more about Tunica County River Park

The Tunica County River Park provides an immersive experience centered on the Mississippi River and the surrounding Delta region. The park's location on a 168-acre site was chosen for its river access, diverse natural systems, and proximity to a navigation channel. The Mississippi River Museum, located within the park, features interactive exhibits that explore the history of the Mississippi Delta and the river's impact on the region. Exhibits cover topics such as early Native American civilization, the Great Flood of 1927, and the development of blues music in the Delta. Visitors can also view native river life in the museum's aquariums and experience a simulated dive to the bottom of the Mississippi River. Outside the museum, the River Park offers a 1.9-mile Eco-Trail through a riverside forest, allowing visitors to observe local plants and wildlife. The park's design allows floodwaters to reach the riparian habitats, and elevated walkways minimize disturbance to the environment. The Riverfront Promenade provides scenic overlooks of the Mississippi River.
