Wyalusing State Park (Point Lookout)
Wisconsin
A CCC-built stone overlook 500+ feet above the exact spot where the Wisconsin River pours into the Mississippi -- Marquette and Joliet paddled past this bluff in 1673 on their way to becoming the first Europeans recorded reaching the river, and the view hasn't needed improving since.
Why Roamward picked it
The signature confluence overlook of the entire corridor -- pairs directly with Villa Louis/Prairie du Chien six miles north for a two-stop Wisconsin-River-meets-Mississippi cluster. Point Lookout is the park's universally recommended first stop per every travel source checked.
