The River Walk is one of the most unique representations of the Mississippi River in the world. It is a 5-block long replica of the lower Mississippi river, from Cairo, IL, to New Orleans, LA. Each 30" stride is equivalent to one mile on the actual river. Along your journey, you'll revisit historical events and learn about geographical transformations.  
The "1,000" mile journey concludes at the Gulf of Mexico, a one acre enclosure that holds 1.3 million gallons of water. There, visitors can enjoy a leisurely pedal boat ride around the Gulf area with the Memphis skyline in the background.

"Great for kids!"

If you catch good weather in Memphis then head over to Mud Island. Very clean and excellent location. Kids love the water and grown ups will love the downtime when you reach the end and the kids can swim and splash in the water. Be warned though, the restaurant at the end of the walk is expensive so bring your own water and snacks.
