Cape Girardeau, or simply “Cape” for locals, is a city along the Mississippi River. Its riverside location allows it to host a wide variety of flora and fauna, many of which you can find at Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center. Outdoor lovers can take on the nature trails there while keeping an eye out for local wildlife. Trail of Tears is another place to enjoy nature trails, but it also has historical significance as it pays tribute to the Cherokees who lost their lives when they were forced to cross the river. Child-friendly attractions can also be found in the area. Melaina’s Magical Playground provides a fun space for adults and children with disabilities to have fun.
