In Louisiana, MO, there is a nice little park on one of the bluffs over the Mississippi. We always stop there whenever we are passing through. Note the railroad bridge - it has a section that swings away to let barges through. Quite the view, you can see for miles.

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
--John Milton
