Beale Street Landing
Memphis sits at the widest point along the Mississippi River and is a gracious host to many river vessels. Approximately 50 stops are made by three major vessels each year, and this does not include local excursion boats and special annual or one-time visits. A modern docking facility is needed along our waterfront, and what better place than where the Historic Cobblestone Landing meets Tom Lee Park and the tip of Mud Island joins the Wolf River Harbor and the Mississippi River, and all of that at the foot of Beale Street.
This project, called Beale Street Landing, will:
- Form an appropriate terminus for Beale Street
- Connect Tom Lee Park and the Historic Cobblestone Landing
- Create a dramatic overlook for riverfront activities for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and casual river watchers
- Accommodate public gatherings and performances.
