Lovers Leap is a limestone bluff that rises sharply at the southern end of Hannibal, offering one of the best views of the river anywhere in north Missouri. A road climbs to the top and a short trail leads to the viewing point.
The Mississippi makes its long bend right below, and on a clear day you can see Quincy bridge to the north and the start of the cliffs that line the river for miles south. Bring a sweater — the breeze off the river is sharper than the temperature suggests.
