Great place/area to unwind. The river walking trail is across the street and we used it daily, it’s about 2 miles 1 way. The small deck is great for sitting and watching the barges go by, people watching and taking in the sunshine! We could walk to most everything: restaurant/bar, brewery, coffee shop/cafe, shops and the lock and dam. Awesome burgers and nachos at the Dam Bar and grill. It’s like going down in a cave, but good food! The brewery is nice with outdoor seating and we talked a long time with the young owner Katherine. She has lots of information about the area and has a very nice place! Sodes Perk Central is a cafe, gift shop and more! Unique food and specials daily. If you do want to cook while you are there instead, there are pans etc, but no seasonings, condiments, paper products, mixing bowls, or toaster.
