Great River Road State Park

Great River Road State Park sits along the Mississippi River with Perry Martin Lake at its center, offering boating and fishing opportunities. The grounds contain picnic areas, fishing platforms, and playground facilities for children.

The park takes its name from the Great River Road, a scenic route that has followed the Mississippi River since the early 1900s. This route shaped the connection between Rosedale and the river for generations.

The park serves as a gathering place where people from Rosedale come together for local events and family outings along the water.

The park is accessed via Mississippi Highway 1 and has designated areas for picnicking and fishing throughout the grounds. Facilities are straightforward to find and work well for family visits.

An observation tower once stood in the park offering views of the Mississippi River, but it was removed in 2011 after severe flooding. The spot serves as a reminder of the river's power and its impact on the area.
