Nestled in the heart of Cape Girardeau, Trail Of Tears State Park offers a serene beach experience along the expansive waterside. Although the park does not boast traditional sandy beaches, its riverfront access provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Missouri's landscape, including pebbled shores and forest-lined banks. Activities here are focused on enjoying the tranquility of nature, birdwatching, fishing, boating, and hiking through the scenic surroundings. Unlike many beach destinations, Trail Of Tears State Park has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does have crucial natural beauty and opportunities for peaceful reflection and outdoor recreation.
