  • Abstract:
    The three thousand mile Great River Road represents one of the nation's longest and perhaps most important national scenic by-ways in the country today. Stretching all the way from its origins in Manitoba and Ontario, the Great River Road stretches through ten states and two provinces down to the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana. With its nearly 50 year history of planning and development, the Great River Road provides a very important case study on one of the most unique scenic by-ways in the United States. This case study on the history and development of the Great River Road represents the assimilation of an enormous amount of data and resources obtained through the Mississippi River Parkway Commission. Utilizing contacts through the state tourism, transportation and economic development offices of the ten states, this report summarizes a wealth of information from a variety of different sources. While there is much more than can be written about the development of this unique and National important scenic parkway, this report provides in-depth look at its history, development, status and future.
