Our guide Travis took us on a fabulous (free) educational adventure up on top of the dam. If you haven't seen a boat pass through a functioning lock and dam system, this is your chance!

July stop at Alton IL lock & dam
Very nice museum and displays. The quite outside answered all our questions. Learned a lot, and enjoyed the stop. You can see ships up close.
Nice visit to the last dam on the river
Nice visit to see the dam and surrounding wetlands for the birds. Nice wildlife habitat for birds passing through this fly way.
It's YUGE
