Not much of the river to see south of I-155 except the big tows. The best viewing is along the River Road, IL-3 between Caro and Alton. IL, all thought, the river is much smaller without the Ohio river water. If you want to watch the biggest tows try to navigate the narrowest part of the lower river Columbus-Belmont SP, KY is a great spot with a nice campground (it is an old Confederate river fort on a 100 ft bluff above the river). There is a great ferry running between Dorena, MO and Hickman, KY. The upper river near DuChien to Prescott has great river, lake views.
