CAPE ROCK PARK, entrance on Cape Rock Road, is a landscaped parkway containing a circle drive approximately 6 miles in length. Tables and ovens are provided for picnickers, and the drive affords many excellent views of the Mississippi River. On the "Cape", a rocky promontory over the river, is a stone marker commemorating the trading post traditionally established in the vicinity about 1733 by Ensign Girardot.
