After February’s winter weather, we’re likely all ready for some Spring time. Check out three of our favorite places to catch early glimpses of the new season in Cape Girardeau.

The Mississippi River Front

Downtown Cape Girardeau is a beautiful place to get out and enjoy warmer temps, especially along the river front and the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge. You can soak in the sunshine along the river bank, or stroll through Downtown to enjoy the unique shops and restaurants. You’ll discover one-of-a-kind boutiques, antiques and handmade goods, along with culinary favorites and nightlife entertainment.

Cape Girardeau Nature Center

Warmer weather creates the perfect opportunity to go exploring, and Cape Girardeau offers some great hiking and nature trails for the whole family. Check out the Cape Girardeau Nature Center and its two-mile white-oak trace trail. Plus, you can often catch special programs and activities happening at the Center this time of year.
