As you enjoy your picnic, you just might see canoes, river barges or nostalgic paddle-wheelers gliding by on a lazy summer day. On the left side is Mount LaGrange (Barn Bluff), so named by early French explorers. On the right is the elegantly restored 1878 St. James Hotel. Diners at the hotel "Summit"  are treated to incredible panoramic views of the Mississippi River Valley."
