Wikipedia entry

“Confluence Point State Park in West Alton marks the spot where the Missouri River flows into the Mississippi — two of the continent's defining waterways meeting in an open landscape that carries genuine geographic weight. The trail to the actual confluence is a flat two-mile walk through floodplain forest ending at a narrow point of land where you can watch the brown Missouri water fold into the broader gray of the Mississippi.”
