Galena, Illinois
Another great Mississippi Explorer port is located just a few miles south of historic Galena, Illinois, at Chestnut Mountain Resort. This traditional summer resort, with magnificent, bluff-top overlooks, has the perfect weekend vacation waiting for you! Whether it's hiking or biking, playing 18-hole's of mini golf, or just hanging out at the pool or hot tubs, Chestnut's got it! Add our spectacular 90-minute Wildlife Eco-Tour, filled with bald eagles, beavers, great blue herons, & egrets, and you've got a masterpiece that's fun for the whole gang!
Cruise Includes Alpine Slide & Scenic Chair Lift!
Ride a sled down 2,050 ft. of tailored track to the banks of the Mississippi. The scenic Lift whisks you back to the top where on a clear day the three-state view is as much the attraction as the slide down. Good luck convincing the kids of that fact!
