Mud Island is the perfect bookend to any trip to Memphis. It is a peaceful common that offers a relaxing experience where any visitor can take a load off and enjoy the serenity of the Mississippi River. Located on a Mississippi River peninsula, it houses a park, an amphitheater, museums and many restaurants. It is located 1.2 miles from downtown Memphis and is also accessible by many methods including monorail, ferry, by car and by walking. The River Park is free to all visitors and contains a scale reproduction of the city of Memphis as well as a replica of the Mississippi River that empties into a model of the Gulf of Mexico. The park also offers bike and hiking trails as well as pedal boats and rafts for rent. The Mississippi River Museum is dedicated to the history of the Mississippi River and contains a replica of the steamboats that once graced the river’s waters. However, there is a $7 to $10 fee to enter the museum, depending on the visitors’ age. The 5,000-seat amphitheater is used primarily as a host venue for summer concert series and festivals, so if you’re looking for a serene experience, odds are that it will be quiet unless a festival is in progress.

There is a mud island river park, but drive around mud island and see the homes, shops, and views. Good place to walk/jog on the river also

This is my favorite place in Memphis to take a stroll. If the museum is open, the bridge from downtown to the island is open. If the bridge isn't open, you can drive around the back of the pyramid to get to the parking lot. Parking is a bit pricey @ $12.
