Mud Island River Park, Memphis (June, 2002)

 
The River Walk park was very nicely landscaped and with all the water, spots of shade, and beautiful settings you could relax here all day.

Park admission was free.  However to tour the Mississippi River museum it is $8.  (We didn't do it so I have no idea what it's like.)  To get across to the island you can take the elevated monorail for $2 roundtrip.  (This is the same one Tom Cruise goes across in the movie "The Firm.")  However, after riding the monorail I would suggest that you just take the covered walkway above the monorail.  The train isn't air conditioned and you wait 5+ minutes for it to get going.
