A MESSAGE FROM THE DDD
river Rising!
Historic High Water

For the second time this spring, the Mississippi River will soon be cresting. You can now see that the water level is at 44', which is higher than the elevation at River Road. Before the creation of the levee system, waters of the Mississippi River would have been controlled using the natural topography of the land. The natural high ground in downtown begins at Lafayette Street. As you travel further north past Main Street the, artificial levee ends and the natural bluff begins.

Experience this historic event along the levee promenade as the Mississippi River crests this Friday! You can now access the levee promenade from three downtown locations: South Boulevard, Riverfront Plaza, and River Road at Florida Street.

While downtown, take in some of the many riverfront attractions, events, and restaurants. Don't forget that downtown offers many routes for biking, jogging, or walking such as the levee path and Downtown Greenway!
