In the warmer months, families head here to stroll and splash in the Riverwalk, while adventure seekers spend time kayaking and paddle boarding Wolf River Harbor.
Downtown’s Mud Island River Park has become a destination for families and tourists alike because of its Riverwalk, a scale replica of the Lower Mississippi that allows kids to splash and frolic in the “river” over the course of about five city blocks.
The riverwalk is one of the main attractions at the 52-acre Mud Island River Park, which is undergoing a $4 million renovation this summer. Also here, a 50-foot “Memphis” sign and incredible views of the skyline serve as backdrops for countless Instagram selfies.
