Mississippi River Fun Facts
Great River RoadThe Great River Road was established in 1938 as the national parkway of the Mississippi River. Follow the green Pilot's Wheel road signs that mark its route nearly 3,000 miles through 10 states.
At 24 miles long, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in New Orleans, Louisiana is the world longest over water highway bridge.
Favorite Places Along the River
One of my favorite towns along the Arkansas Great River Road is Helena-West Helena. The distinctive topography of the area has always intrigued visitors. Crowley's Ridge and the Mississippi River almost touch at this point, creating an area that is unique in Arkansas and the Delta. Mark Twain says "Helena occupies one of the prettiest situations on the river," in his book "Life on the Mississippi." I would have to agree.
