Buena Vista Park

Buena Vista Park is a natural treasure not to be missed.  Located 500 feet above Alma, it’s a small park with a big view of the Mississippi River for several miles to the north and south.  According to Better Homes & Gardens magazine, "Buena Vista Park is one of the river valley's finest natural balconies."   The park is a great birding spot with breathtaking sunsets and is a "must see" when you come to Alma.  This scenic vista 500 feet above Alma and the Mississippi River Valley has a natural viewing platform.  Visitors can watch barges traveling up the river and locking through Lock Dam #4 along with views of sand islands and backwaters.
